The
Longhorn Council operates 7 large and small camps for our Scouts and
units for weekend camping trips, weekend programs, and summer camp
programs. We accept donations of many items that help in the operation
and maintenance of our many camps and facilities.
Membership in the Boy Scouts of America during childhood, adolescence,
and adulthood plays a major role in shaping character and values and
the use of these values in daily life. Take a stand on character,
values, and integrity in support of our young people by making a contribution
to the Longhorn Council today. It's the smartest investment you can
make, an investment in the greatest asset America has—its children.
