To commemorate Don’t mess with Texas® (DMWT) upcoming 30th anniversary, DMWT is
partnering with the Boy Scouts of America groups across the state to emphasize the
importance of a clean-litter-free environment.
A partnership between Don’t mess with Texas and the Boy Scouts will create a strong, sustainable experience as
well as, an example for other youth organizations to follow by pitching in and doing their part. DMWT has an annual
Trash-Off event for which the Boy Scouts are encouraged to participate in as part of this partnership. In addition, this
year we will have various events across the state the troop can participate in.
BENEFITS:
Trash-Off Event
 For participating in a Trash-Off event, troops have the opportunity to earn a
special 30th Anniversary DMWT patch for participating in the clean-up event(s).
o Last year, in partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful and the Adopt-aHighway groups, there were 235 organized trash pick-ups across the
state; more than 30,000 volunteers; 3,709 miles of highway cleaned;
resulting in 1.4 million pounds of litter collected.
o Public relations announcements will be going out regarding partnership and litter clean-up
activities.
Trash and Treasure Hunt:
 Trash and Treasure Hunt events will be scheduled April through August. These events will be scheduled in
partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful Affiliates and area Convention and Visitor Bureaus. These will consist
of a clean-ups, games and prizes at various locations across the state.
o Promotional opportunities at each event.
o Scouts have the opportunity to set up a booth.
o Promoted on media relations materials and press events.
GOALS: Increase the number of youth keeping Texas beautiful, further reducing the likelihood of children
developing the bad habit of littering as they get older. This partnership will increase awareness, reduce the amount
of litter across the state, set the example that at any age, everyone makes the difference in keeping our environment
litter free, and educate the public on the cost of litter pick-ups, youth and volunteer programs to help keep Texas
beautiful!
HISTORY: In 1986, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) launched the Don’t mess with Texas (DMWT)
as a signature campaign designed to reduce litter on state maintained roadways. It is now one of the most
recognized and well regarded slogans in the world.
TxDOT has a three prong approach to litter prevention, included are the “Don’t Mess with Texas” public awareness
campaign, the Adopt-a-Highway program, and a grassroots partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful, Inc. All three work
towards a litter-free environment.

All Scouts Deserve a
Trained Leader
Wood Badge is for You
All of us understand how critical proper training is for adult leaders and many of
you have already taken part in many of the opportunities available at the District
and Council levels. We are a better because of it, and our youth have benefitted
from your commitment - thank you.
But please take a moment to review the Wood Badge opportunities coming up to consider attending or reaching
out to others to attend this world-class program. It matters not that you’re part of the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venture or Varsity programs or are a new or experienced leader. What does matter is your desire to become better
leaders so our youth can become better Scouts and young men and women.
Why Attend
Regardless of which course you attend, you will take part in an outstanding program which emphasizes leadership development and working with others. This is less about camping, hiking and outdoor skills than it is about
a world-class program which helps adult leaders find out the best about themselves. They learn to find the best in
others and acquire the skills and techniques to make it happen.
The only prerequisites to take Wood Badge is that you have completed training specific to your registered adult
leadership position, Youth Protection Training, and have a desire to improve Scouting. There is no specific time
in any position required, nor are camping skills.
Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, the course draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and successful outdoor organizations throughout the
country. It builds on the best traditions and experiences of Wood Badge; and draws from a wide range of sources
within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development.
Registration
Information on upcoming Wood Badge courses is available at: http://circleten.org/wood-badge Please go to the
course website for specific information on each course and a link to contact the Course Director to register for
the course or ask for more data.

Dallas Woods & Waters Foundation
The Woods and Waters Foundation (WWF) is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable
organization which works closely with the Dallas Woods and Waters Club
(DWWC) to establish mutually compatible charitable goals. Their mission is
to ensure the future of the great outdoors through conservation, preserving
wildlife, restoring habitats, and educating youth in the outdoor disciplines
and the preservation of our natural resources. They also strive to develop
charitable contributions and gifts in order to further our mission and to assist
other charitable organizations with similar goals and objectives.
WWF offers $100 donations for assistance on Eagle Scout Service Projects.
They require a written request describing the project and the board will select
one Scout each month to receive $100 for use on their project. WWF only
asks that the Scout submit an article and pictures of the completed project for
their use in upcoming issues of the DWWC monthly newsletter. Request should be sent to:

Eagle Scout
service project
benefits those
on four legs
Nowhere in the rules does it require the beneficiary of an Eagle project to be human.
Good thing, because an Eagle candidate from Texas has completed an impressive
Eagle Scout service project to benefit the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas. It
was the first time the agency had partnered with a Boy Scout for a project.
Ross R. of Circle Ten Council’s Plano, Texas-based Troop 1000, organized an
adoption event and raised awareness in his community about retired racing
greyhounds. He also held a collection drive for dog toys, treats and towels for the
dogs in foster care at this nonprofit corporation that has assisted 2,700 greyhounds
to date.
This great project is another reminder that an Eagle project doesn’t have to be
“permanent” to leave a permanent legacy. In other words, it doesn’t need to leave
behind something physical, like a bridge, to have a lasting impact on the young man’s
community.
Ross, who lacks only the Personal Management merit badge, Scoutmaster conference
and Eagle board of review before he can earn the Eagle Scout award, read my blog
post about nontraditional Eagle projects around the time he was starting his project.
“It was very encouraging to all of us — to my son and his family and his troop,” Ross’
mom, Karen, wrote in an email to me.”
Ross said his favorite part of the project “was spending time with the greyhounds.
They are calm and sensitive dogs. At the adoption event, the foster parents
commented that the dogs were happy to be with the Scouts. This helped make the
event a success.”
The event didn’t just benefit the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas in the short
term; it also resulted in several adoptions, including a member of Troop 1000
adopting a greyhound into his family.
That’s Uno above with Ross (left) and Uno’s new owner, Patrick.
I’m impressed by Ross’ humility. When Ross heard I wanted to feature his project
on the blog, his mom told me he was worried it wasn’t “big” enough to warrant
coverage. (You might say he’s no publicity hound.)
This young man has great character and strong leadership skills. And he’s only 14.
Great job, Ross, and good luck as you finish the final steps toward earning Eagle!

EXPLORING
Worksite Based Career Education
This month, we want to recognize several of the
advisors from Dallas Police Dept, especially Sr.
Corporals Angie Hernandez and Larry Allen. They are
currently working very hard with a special group of
Dallas Police Explorers that will be taking a Philmont
trek this summer. The Dallas Police are doing
wonderful things to grow the teamwork and leadership
skills of their Explorers!
We also would like to thank advisors from the Plano
Fire Dept, Rowlett Fire and CERT, and Coppell Police
Dept, who have taken an active role in planning a
council-wide Emergency Preparedness event for this
Fall. This event will be even more unique because it
will be planned by Explorers from their posts, as well
as any other posts that will join in the coming months.
Last but not least, we would like to extend a
HUGE thank you to the post president of the UT
Southwestern Exploring Post, Irma, who recently
shared about her experience in the Exploring program
with a group of United Way representatives. Some high
schoolers would be nervous to do this, but not her! She
did a wonderful job! It is obvious she has learned some
great public speaking skills from her position as post
president.
Architecture Explorers visit Faulkner Design Group
In March, Explorers from our new Architecture
Exploring post had the opportunity to visit an interior
design firm, Faulkner Design Group (or FDG). They
got to speak with professional interior designers and
architects and learn what to do to pursue that career.
As well, they got to explore a design of a new building
through a set of virtual reality goggles! The favorite
hands-on experience was to make sample boards
in FDG’s resource library. The rooms are filled with
samples of everything you could possibly need to
create an indoor environment; tile, carpet, laminate,
wallpaper, and marble counter top samples. In groups,
the Explorers were tasked to use samples to create
a concept for a beach-themed room (without using
typical beach-theme prints or ideas). At the end of the
visit, one Explorer said that, before this visit, she wasn’t
sure she really wanted to be an interior designer, but
now she was really going to consider it!

Circle Ten Council, BSA is proud to be a Strategic Partner
for Lemonade Day Greater Dallas 2016 – an annual
community-wide event designed to teach youth how to
start, own and operate their very own business using…….a
lemonade stand! Lemonade Day brings together the
business and volunteer sectors of our community to focus
on preparing youth for entrepreneurship, leadership and
a responsible life! Boy Scouts learn how to set goals, find
investors, select their site, build a stand, purchase supplies,
make healthy products, advertise, serve their customers,
account for sales, open a bank account and give back to
their community. They will learn how to run their own
company and in the process, gain essential leadership skills
that are core Scouting values.
Lemonade Day™ is May 7, 2016! In 2014, Dallas held its
first Lemonade Day, and last year we had over 1,400 future
leaders set up lemonade stands, and get in on the fun that
will help prepare them for life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the objective of Lemonade Day?
Lemonade Day teaches Greater Dallas’s youth how to start,
own and operate their very own business…..a lemonade
stand. Through the program, youth not only learn about
entrepreneurship, financial literacy and business skills, but
they also learn valuable life skills as well.
How much does it cost?
Lemonade Day participation is free for all kids, schools,
community organizations, and other caring adults who
participate.
Where does the money go?
The objective is to teach Scouts how to run their own
business, so they will keep what they earn after covering
their expenses and paying back their investors. Scouts will
also learn how to open a youth savings account so that their
profits can continue to grow.
Can anyone have a lemonade stand?
Yes! Any child can participate in Lemonade Day as long
as a responsible adult agrees to work with them. After
registering online at Dallas.LemonadeDay.org, Scouts
will gain access to Lemonopolis, the on-line interactive
Lemonade Day program. To register as a group or to
register for hardcopy workbooks, contact
dallas@lemonadeday.org.
Will there be instructions on how to run a lemonade
stand?
Absolutely! Lemonade Day is all about teaching Scouts
the value of entrepreneurship. As the Scouts work through
the program, they will make all the decisions necessary to
open their very own business. Use this Leader’s Guide with
additional group activities that help to teach Scouts the
steps to operating a successful business.
Where will the stands be located?
Scouts will select their own locations for the stands, which
means lemonade will be available across the Greater
Dallas area! NOTE: Scouts will be responsible for making
arrangements or obtaining permission for their stand
locations. On the Lemonade Day Dallas website – dallas.
lemonadeday.org - Scouts can find suggested stand
locations including city parks and local businesses that
invite stands to set up in front of their stores on Lemonade
Day. Be sure to use the contact information to get
permission!
What time is Lemonade Day?
Scouts and their responsible adult are encouraged to
operate their stand at any time on May 7, 2016.
Can Scout troops participate?
We encourage every troop to get involved. Lemonade Day
is a unique experiential learning opportunity combining
Scouting advancement and life skills to teach Scouts about
business. It is also a chance for leaders, families and Scouts
to work together and have fun! Simply register online at
dallas.lemonadeday.org.

Do you know Scouts – of all ages – who are looking for group
projects, activities to support nature & environmental merit
badges, and individual projects like Eagle and Gold Award?
Two Dallas-area preserves are ready to work with
Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Scout troops.
Spring Creek Forest Preserve (www.springcreekforest.org) and
Twelve Hills Nature Center (www.twelvehills.org)
have a long history of working with Scout groups, and can schedule
activities for troops and individual Scouts year-round.
Both parks work closely with the North Texas Master Naturalist
