Through Scouting in Schools, part of the Sam Houston Area Council’s ScoutReach initiative, students are gaining access to leadership training, life skills, and confidence-building experiences—right in their classrooms, and at no cost to them or their schools. Designed to reach youth in underserved communities, the program brings trained leaders into schools during the day, making scouting more accessible than ever before. And the impact is already being felt across Southeast Texas, where thousands of students are participating.Fifth grader Ivan Toscano is one of the students taking part in the program, and he says it’s already made a difference in how he sees himself and his future. Through scouting, he’s learned new skills, gained confidence, and discovered a sense of purpose. He’s now inspired to one day become a police officer—motivated by a desire to help others and give back to his community.By removing financial barriers and bringing opportunities directly into schools, Scouting in Schools is helping students build not just skills—but belief in what’s possible for their lives.For more information about Scouting in Schools or to support programs like ScoutReach in your community, visit shacbsa.org or call 713-756-3301.
