Interested in earning Stamp Collecting Merit Badge? Then plan to attend the July 13, 2026 meeting of the Johnson Space Center Stamp Club from 7:00-8:30pm.

The meeting will be in League City:
144 Park Avenue, Suite 400 (Blue Building)
League City, TX 77573

The Stamp Collecting Merit Badge is a fun and extremely interesting and insightful badge to earn. Plus, it’s also one of the rarest that Scouts are able to get! So for Scouts who either love stamps or who love earning cool Merit Badges that others in the Troop won’t have on their sash, you don’t want to miss out!

Thanks to the JSC Stamp Club, this badge will be offered to all Scouts in Troops across our area who are interested in earning it.

The meeting on July 13th will feature a discussion on 1) what drew each person to stamp collecting, (2) why we collect stamps and (3) what topics and countries interest us. Members will bring portions of their collections for "show & tell!".

Attendance (in person) meets one of the merit badge requirements.

The San Jacinto District is pleased to announce their newest Eagle Scout! His name is Zaiden H. and he is from Troop 388 in Pasadena, Texas.

For his Eagle Scout project, Zaiden lead a group of Scouts from Troop 388, Venturing Crew 388 as they designed, built, and painted 4 Raised Flower Beds. This initiative involves the design, construction, and installation of four elevated planter boxes utilizing TREX composite material and treated wood, with dimensions of approximately 24 inches by 40 inches by 32 inches in height. The planters were crafted to ensure durability, align with the previous layout familiar to staff and patients, and adhere to safety standards: no sharp edges, inset or flush fasteners, and an accessible height for veterans with mobility challenges or those using wheelchairs.

They were strategically positioned along the wall of the rooftop patio to optimize the space and facilitate safe movement of carts and equipment by staff. The completed planters are each anticipated to accommodate two to three varieties of vegetables or flowers and to support seasonal gardening activities throughout the year, with a minimum of two growing seasons planned for spring and summer.

These raised flower beds will serve to establish a tranquil, accessible gardening environment that fosters healing and relaxation for veterans receiving mental health care at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The project aimed to provide veterans with a secure outdoor space to cultivate plants, develop skills, and engage in therapeutic activities that enhance their mental health treatment. This initiative assists veterans in alleviating PTSD symptoms, reconnecting with nature, experiencing a sense of achievement, and finding relaxation in a secure environment. VA Veterans will experience emotional, social, and physical advantages from the elevated flower beds. Gardening in accessible beds can alleviate stress and anxiety, enhance mood and a sense of purpose, and promote gentle physical activity.

Please join us in congratulating Zaiden on earning his Eagle! We are all very proud of you! ⚜️🦅
