🌟 SCOUT SPOTLIGHT | MEET AVA H. – TROOP 358! 🌟

When it comes to dedication, leadership, and a love for adventure, Ava H. leads by example!

With nearly 4 years in Scouting and approximately 144 nights of camping, Ava has built an impressive journey of adventure, service, and leadership. She’s missed only TWO weekend campouts during that time!

🏕️ Adventure is her thing! In summer 2026, Ava completed a 9-day Philmont trek with Troop 358, then turned right around and returned to Philmont for an 8-day Cavalcade adventure with Venturing Crew 158!

⭐ Leading by example! She’s served as Patrol Leader (PL), Assistant Senior Patrol Leader (ASPL), Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), and Quartermaster (QM). She currently serves as the Order of the Arrow (OA) Representative and is also a member of Crew 158.

👏 Giving back and growing leaders! Ava attended National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), served as an instructor for Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST), and staffed a week of summer camp in 2026. She’s also preparing to staff both weeks of winter camp!

🇺🇸 Beyond Scouting! Ava brings that same dedication to ROTC, participating in the saber, armed, and unarmed drill teams.

Through countless campouts, leadership roles, and service opportunities, Ava continues to demonstrate what it means to show up, step up, and lead.

Ava, we’re proud of your dedication, adventurous spirit, and the example you set for your fellow Scouts. Keep leading, exploring, and inspiring!

💚 Troop 358 is proud to have you!

A little look back at last weekend!

Troops 258 & 358 had a busy weekend serving in our community.

On Saturday, our Scouts, Leaders and parents helped unload pumpkins at Rockbridge Church, our troop meeting home, to help them get ready for their fall Pumpkin Patch.

Then on Sunday, Scouts volunteered with the Leander ROTC Tree Planting Project at Veterans Memorial Park.

It was a great weekend of working together, helping others, and giving back to places in our community that mean a lot to us. We’re so proud of our Scouts and thankful for everyone who gave their time!

Please join us in congratulating Harrison G. on completing Rayado at Philmont Scout Ranch!

Rayado is one of Scouting’s most challenging and rewarding backcountry leadership experiences. Over the course of nearly three weeks, participants hike, camp, and grow alongside Scouts from across the country, building resilience, servant leadership, confidence, and lifelong friendships while navigating the rugged wilderness of Philmont.

Harrison has had a busy summer! He attended Lost Pines Summer Camp with Troop 258 and then took on the incredible challenge of Rayado. As a Life Scout and the current Senior Patrol Leader of Troop 258, he continues to lead by example, embracing every opportunity to learn, serve, and grow.

Congratulations, Harrison, on this remarkable accomplishment! We are incredibly proud of you!

💙 One Scout's personal experience became a powerful way to help others.

When Michael Dial began planning his Eagle Scout project, he chose to focus on something close to his heart—supporting individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes. What started as an idea quickly grew into 100 emergency diabetes kits that are now helping members of our community prepare for unexpected situations and stay safe during times of need.

His project combined compassion, education, and service, and we're honored that he chose to partner with HCCM to make it happen.

The packs are packed, the boots are laced, and the adventure is finally here!

After months of training, planning, and preparation, Troop 358’s Philmont crew is heading out for 9 days of challenge, discovery, and unforgettable experiences in Philmont.

Along the trail, they’ll test their skills, support one another, embrace new challenges, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are incredibly proud of all they have done to prepare for this journey.

Wishing our crew safe travels, strong trails, and an amazing trek. Enjoy every mile, every view, and every moment of the adventure ahead. 🥾⛰️⚜️

Our crew is officially on the move! Today they board the 1:00 PM bus from Base Camp and begin their adventure with a 2.7-mile hike into House Canyon for Ranger Training.

As an added bonus, they’ll get to see the famous T-Rex tracks along the way—a prehistoric reminder that every trail has a story to tell!

Wishing them an unforgettable first day on the trail.
