A note from your Roundtable Commissioner:
Hello,
Let me introduce myself, I am Bill Davis, your new Roundtable Commissioner for the George Strake District. I would like to invite all Scouters, Cubs Scouts, Scouts and Venturers to attend the Roundtable on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm located at the Willis Community Center.
I hope everyone has received the email describing our Roundtable Buck Program. We are looking for someone to do the Opening Ceremony Program (new topic each month) and Closing Scout Master Minutes. Remember you can earn Roundtable Bucks when you do one of these three programs and attend.
You may contact me at drtecinc@aol.com to schedule the Roundtable date and the program you would like to do.
Scouts today are leaders of tomorrow, so let’s share our knowledge with each Scouter through our monthly Roundtables. Working together is the corner stone to everyone’s success.
Sincerely
Bill Davis
Arrow of Light
February 12 @ Cub World (rain or shine)
Please bring your son’s arrow – labeled with his first and last name.
Steps to insure a successful ceremony for your son:
1. Contact the troop your son plans to bridge into to be sure they have a representative there.
2. Contact Elvira Hudspeth (936-443-2025) or Le'Ann Ruggles (936-231-3053) to register your son with the Order of the Arrow for the ceremony. It is also acceptable for the den leader to call and register the den.
3. Call Tami Kinn at the Camp Service Center (713-756-3309) to let her know that people from your pack will be there. You should make this call TWO WEEKS prior to your ceremony date.
4. Arrive at Camp Strake no later than 6:30pm on the date you registered for.
5. PARK IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PAVILION. PARKING IN UNAUTHORIZED PLACES WILL DELAY THE CEREMONY WHILE WE WAIT FOR CARS TO BE MOVED.

Duty to God
Scouting tells us that we should do our best to do our "Duty to God." The Scout Law also shows us that "a Scout is reverent." If you are looking for ways to perform these obligations, the P.R.A.Y. web site has several opportunities. Each youth member has the opportunity to earn their Youth Religious Award knot for their respective faiths. If you know an adult Scouter that is active in their church and the Scouting program they may qualify for the Adult Religious Award for their faith. Please take the time to explore your beliefs and work in your Duty to God and become a more reverent Scout. God Bless!
