Today was the 59th annual Report to State in Austin, Texas. Thousands of scouts came to Austin for this annual event. There were Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts, Venture Crews and Varsity Scouts! It was a real sea of scouts... We kicked off the morning with a parade down Congress Avenue to the Capitol.
After the parade the delegates from all of the districts in Texas were escorted to the chamber of the House of Representative to give the various reports. Governor Rick Perry accepted the reports and gave some encouraging words for the boys. He has written a book entitles "On My Honor." The proceeds of his book will go to the BSA Legal Defense Fund.
What a day! I hope B will remember this for a long time.
Maybe we have a future State Rep in our family! I hope he has enough energy for his basketball game this evening...
Is this what the State Representatives look like when they are there?
