An unusually organized collection of Scouts arrived at Bear Creek Scout Camp.

They learned new skills.
They explored the outdoors.
They consumed astonishing quantities of bug spray.

Most importantly, they discovered that great adventures are best shared with friends.

🚂 A Hidden Gem in San Antonio Keeps Growing!

Our scout, Rowan, visited the Texas Transportation Museum today to gain inspiration for her Eagle project.

Founded in 1964, the museum preserves San Antonio’s transportation history through historic locomotives, railcars, antique vehicles, model railroads, and train rides on the Longhorn & Western Railroad.

Recently, the museum has expanded to include a growing collection of buses and has welcomed the Ansteorran Longship Association, whose Viking-style longboat and educational programs will add another fascinating chapter to the story of transportation through the ages.

For scouts, the museum is a valued community partner. Over the years, more than 30 Eagle Scout projects have been completed here. Young leaders have been able to align their passion and interest to service projects that have improved exhibits, grounds, and visitor experiences. Their volunteers are always welcoming and supportive.

If you haven’t visited recently, it’s worth a trip. You may be surprised by how much there is to see!

During high school, Matt played the tuba in the Brandeis Marching Band and completed a four-year Auto Mechanics program, earning a professional certification in brake systems diagnostics and repair.

Outside the classroom, Matt dedicated countless hours to Scouting leadership and service, developing skills that have shaped both his character and future goals.

Matt’s favorite Scouting memories include climbing to the peak of Mount Baldy at Philmont Scout Ranch with his patrol mates and serving as a staff member at Bear Creek Scout Camp the past 4 summers.

For his Eagle Scout project, Matt combined his love of trains and childhood memories at the Texas Transportation Museum by building an outdoor train table for children to enjoy. His goal was to create something interactive; giving kids a chance to play, explore, and experience the excitement of trains hands-on.

He is an active member of Venture Crew 324 and the Order of the Arrow, attending the National Order of the Arrow Conference in 2024 and serving as an Elangomat four times to guide newly inducted Arrowmen through their Ordeal experience.

Matt completed National Youth Leadership Training and later returned to staff the course as a Troop Guide. He recently taught his fellow arrowmen basic auto maintenance at the annual Conclave.

This fall, Matt will attend St. Philip’s College to pursue his associate’s degree and begin part-time work in an automotive shop.

Congratulations, Matt! We are proud of all you’ve accomplished and excited to see where the road ahead takes you.
