This is an important announcement for all units in Cross Timbers district!
Due to Health and Safety issues, the Jack G. Smith Scout Building, located at First and Mesquite streets in Arlington, has been scheduled to be demolished. This decision was made after thoughtful consideration and discussion.
Although this is a sad occasion, it provides a unique opportunity for all units in the district. Saturday, September 28th, from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm the building will be open for the dispersal of scouting materials and equipment to all interested parties. I have conducted a preliminary review of the building with Brian Sepulveda, Activities Minister at First Baptist. The amount of equipment available is staggering. A partial list includes the following:
Sleeping Bags
Coleman Lanterns
Back packs
Mess Kits
Chuck Boxes
Rope
Old Boys Life Magazines
As you can see, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Just to make it better, all items are free!
The important thing to remember is that this is a first come, first pick event. We will not be taking hold orders, so come early to get items for your unit. In addition, this is a one day event, we will not have a subsequent opportunity to get these items.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
I hope to see you Saturday morning,
Ron Ronalder, Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner, XT district
