Causes: Children and Youth, Education, Health and Mental Well-being
The High Desert Council serves Scouts in West Texas, the majority of New Mexico, and Southwestern Colorado as well as over 1,000 registered members. Additionally, the Council supports 4 camps, Camp Tyler Francis in Sunland Park, Camp Dale Ressler in Cloudcroft, Gorham Scout Ranch in Chimayo, and Campbell Scout Ranch in Sandia Park. In order for the Council to function effectively, things like volunteer training, insurance coverage, administrative needs, recognition for our volunteers, camp equipment and staff support must all be addressed. The Investment in Character and Leadership Campaign is the council’s outreach to our community to support these objectives and ensure our kids receive the best program possible. On behalf of the over 2,700 registered youth and 1,000 registered adult volunteers, THANK YOU for your support!
