The mission and core values in the Scout Oath and Law are important and relevant for both boys and girls in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Youth are invited to take part in the fun and adventure that will help them build the confidence to find and forge a path to their own best self – today and in the future.
Your child can be a member of Scouting for $75 per year – that breaks out to a monthly price of $6.25 (or one fancy coffee). There is also a one-time joining fee of $25. But, don’t let the price deter you; there are options to assist you.
Children grow up so fast. Give your child a valuable gift by joining Scouting. The time you invest in your child today will make a difference in the person he or she becomes tomorrow. Because Scouting works; Scouting matters; Scouting lasts …. a lifetime.

Honoring Those Who Serve as America Approaches 250 Years As our nation moves closer to celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026,

In a world full of distractions, shortcuts, and uncertainty, the rank of Eagle Scout still stands for something powerful: leadership, resilience, service, and character.
For more than a century, Eagle Scouts have stepped forward to lead in their communities, workplaces, schools, and across our nation. From astronauts and military leaders to entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, and community volunteers, Eagle Scouts continue to make a lasting impact long after their final Court of Honor.

Summer has arrived, and across Circle Ten Council, Scouts are packing duffel bags, preparing uniforms, and counting down the days until their next adventure. From waterfront activities and campfires to leadership challenges and lifelong friendships, summer camp season is officially underway.

It’s time for #whywednesday again, and this week we’re spotlighting Cameron Shiels!

For Grant, Scouting is about more than personal achievement—it’s about passing the torch. The same experiences and mentors that shaped his journey inspired him to guide the next generation of leaders.

For Peyton, Scouting became much more than earning ranks or chasing adventure. Through leadership, lifelong friendships, family memories, and a passion for developing future leaders through NYLT, Scouting shaped who he is- and continues to inspire why he stays involved today.

For Mason, Scouting became about far more than the adventures people usually talk about. While the program offered unforgettable experiences—from whitewater rafting to scuba diving—it was the friendships, leadership opportunities, and behind-the-scenes moments that made the biggest impact.

For the Kinney family, Scouting isn’t just something you do—it’s something you pass on. From one generation to the next, Scouting has shaped the Kinney family in lasting ways. Now, with a new Scout on the horizon, that legacy is just getting started again.
