African-American Scouting Camporee 2010

The African-American Scouting Camporee (AASC) is a collaboration of African-American Scouting units in the State of Texas.  Boy Scout Troop 242 of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church is the sponsoring Troop Committee for the 2010 Camporee celebrating Scouting’s 100th anniversary and 75 years of African-American Scouting in the State of Texas.

While we are celebrating 100 years of Scouting in the United States, we want to also acknowledge and remember those early African-American leaders who paved the way in Scouting.  Scouting for African Americans has only been recognized in Houston and other areas of Texas for the last 75 years.

The camporee will be held on the beautiful campus of Prairie View A&M University; the site of the first camporee 75 years ago.

Troops, Scouts and Scouters throughout the great State of Texas are invited to celebrate this historical occasion as we remember and pay tribute to those early African American Scout leaders who paved a way for minorities and the underserved to participate in the greatest leadership training program on earth - The Boy Scouts of America! 

Purpose

The purpose of the African American Scouting Campout is to provide registered African American Boy Scouts an educational forum to learn life skills from a social and educational awareness perspective while encouraging, motivating and inspiring youth participation, retention and advancement in Scouting.
