the Circle Ten Council and the Indian Nations Council David, his wife

Fall Roundup
Each year in the Fall, just as school is starting
the Cub Scout Packs in the Concho Valley Council schedule Round-Up
Rallies in their school. Some of these include the whole town
like Utopia or McCamey. Others will rally just their Elementary
or Primary School for their neighborhood pack like San Angelo or
Fort Stockton.
Each District is now scheduling
these rallies to assure coverage early in the new school year.
Rallies may be run by the Pack’s leadership with the aid of the
District membership committee. Some are organized by the new
Pack leadership with the help of their District Executive.
A part of the Council plan
is to give each new Cub Scout who joins from August to December
a “limited edition” Greg Maddux of the Braves baseball trading
card. Additionally, any boy attending his Pack rally will
receive a ticket to the Family Fall Festival and a “light stick”.
If your Pack has not scheduled
a Round-Up Rally call your District Executive or the Council Service Center.
