Clays Sales Can Net Unit Great Prize 

Our council's Sporting Clays Shoot fundraiser will take place Thursday, October 21, 2010 at the Texas Disposal Systems Exotic Game Ranch. This event annually helps raise money to fund Scouting programs across our 15-county area.

This year, the Sporting Clays committee would like to offer any interested units the opportunity to help sell teams to this event - and earn a terrific prize in return. The unit that sells the most teams (minimum $3000 in team sales) will win a weekend campout at the Texas Disposal Systems Exotic Game Ranch, complete with all meals prepared for them and a VIP tour of the exotic wildlife that lives on the ranch. No group has ever been allowed to camp overnight at the TDS ranch before.
