Happy New Year Boy Scouts of Troop 512,
Welcome to 2010! We hope to see you all at the next Scout meeting and actively participating and serving throughout the next charter year and on forth! We have great plans for you, but it's YOU that needs to be there to be part of it!
Remember that as part of your Boy Scout commitments, you should be attending Scout meetings on a weekly basis, participating and serving in/on projects with your fellow Troop Scouts and Leaders and set a good example through actions as well as words. It's not all about camping, right?! You are part of a Boy-Led Unit and should therefore be in regular contact with your fellow scouts and scout leaders, especially in meetings. When is the last time you contacted your Senior Patrol Leader? We have the potential to rock the Scouting world with our unit and we're gonna do it! Our Scouts may be young, but they're lean and mean...ready to do it all...and one day before you know it, it will be time to begin the Eagle Path. This is not anything new of course as you hear a version of "the speech" almost weekly in your meetings and who can forget that special meeting a few months ago concerning attendance, participation and "walking-the-walk - not just talking-the-talk" and the ever-so-popular "YOU are the Scout - not your parents!"...But it is a new year and so let's begin!
Boy Scouts Troop 512 is part of the Raven District in the Sam Houston Area Council, BSA. Few Boy Scout troops have experienced the longevity of Troop 512. We would like to thank our Charter Organization, Holy Trinity United Methodist Church, for allowing us a place to host our meetings and safely store our Scout Troop trailer and all our Troop equipment. We appreciate their support for these many years. They've been there for us from our beginning back in 1970.
SCOUT OATH
On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

A SCOUT IS REVERENT - RELIGIOUS KNOT
Religious Emblems for Boy Scouts,Varsity Scouts,Venturers, and Explorers
(For information go to: http://www.usscouts.org/, Advancement, Religious)
"A Scout is Reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem. Listed on the web link are the BOY SCOUT and VARSITY SCOUT emblems and where to find out about them. Before writing or visiting your local council service center, check with your religious leader.
(Unless indicated otherwise, awards listed may be earned by both Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts.) Older Boy Scouts of Varsity Scout age (over 14), Venturers, and Sea Scouts (and in some cases, Explorers) are eligible for any awards that Varsity Scouts may earn.
