Thank you Cross Timbers District!
Thank you Cross Timbers District!
As previously announced, months ago, by the Longhorn Council, the council is re-aligning from 16 districts down to 12 districts. May is the beginning of that re-alignment, and the new districts.
The new district is now the boundaries of the Arlington, Mansfield and Kennedale ISDs (school districts), and has been temporarily named District 46 - Arlington.
Despite all of the COVID-19 Virus issues in the world today, this change process has continued.
I sincerely hope that every Scout unit is conducting on-line and virtual events, and at least communicating by email, social media and other methods to Keep Scouting Moving!
I would to Thank everyone that worked so hard, for over 60 years, to make the Cross Timbers District, a tremendous place for the Boy Scouts of America! The history of Cross Timbers is a truly amazing journey. Thank You So Much!
As the New District begins, please plan to help Scouting face all of the challenges in the world today, and continue the great legacy that Scouting has always provided. Is time to build a new legacy, and new history. We can all make that happen! The world and our youth truly need Scouting!!

Announcement from Longhorn Council about COVID-19 (Please read carefully)

Important Update on BSA Response to Coronavirus COVID-19
Thursday, March 12, 2020
Special announcement regarding scouts and Corona Virus..
Dear Scouting Family,
As always, your safety and the safety of all our members, volunteers, and employees is our top priority. We know there are questions and concerns about how COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, could affect local Scouting programs in Longhorn Council. Please know that we are monitoring developments regarding COVID-19 both locally with our Council Health Supervisor (Note: please engage your CHS if you have not) and through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The following information regarding events and prevention measures is based on the latest available guidance. As this is an evolving situation, this information is subject to change. We will continue to update you on relevant developments, and we appreciate your understanding of any necessary adjustments in the interest of health and safety.
Status of Council Events
Currently, no council or district events or activities have been cancelled due to COVID-19.
You may monitor event updates here:
https://longhorn.ihubapp.org/c/longhorn-news (<<< There is NO need to register, sign-in, etc. to view our posts here.)
*We will also use email communications via District Executives and LHC Leaders.*
Decisions about unit meetings and activities should be made by unit leadership and chartering organizations based on the unit’s individual circumstances and current CDC and local health department guidelines.
BSA Polices to Prevent the Spread of Illness
The Boy Scouts of America continues to have policies and procedures in place that help protect participants from contracting an illness at large Scouting events. These include the Annual Health and Medical Record and the Pre-Event Medical Screening Checklist.
Everyday Preventive Measures
Even with those important policies in place, it is critical that we all take these everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases:
- Stay home when you feel sick.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and wash your hands before and after doing so.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve/elbow, not your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Do not share personal items such as cups, water bottles, eating utensils, etc.
- Avoid shaking hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
If you have a fever, cough, or other symptoms associated with COVID-19, or if you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, you should isolate and not attend any Scouting events. People who think they may have been exposed to COVID-19 should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Should you have any questions or concerns about a specific upcoming event or activity, please reach out to your local district executive. We will do everything we can to answer your question using the information available to us.
Yours in Scouting,
John Coyle
Longhorn Council Scout Executive/CEO
