The oldest continually operating Boy Scout Camp in Texas is on track for a 6.1 million dollar revitalization. The Rio Grande Council, Boy Scouts of America launched an ambitious campaign at three functions Thursday, September 7 at a breakfast in Brownsville, a luncheon in Harlingen and a dinner in McAllen.<\/p>\n

Over 600 interested citizens, ex scouts and community leaders attended the informational gathering and learned first-hand the details of the project.<\/p>\n

Adelante Con Camp Perry is the slogan adopted for this major capital funds campaign aimed at turning the Camp in to a year round facility for community groups and organizations to use for a variety of meetings and functions.<\/p>\n

The projects include a new dining hall, health and fitness center, new waterfront, archery range, shooting range and a new swimming pool complete with men\u2019s and women\u2019s dressing rooms. Additionally, new roads, new campsites and even an ATV\/BMX course are a few of the over 20 different improvements being made to the Camp. Naming rights are available for those for individuals or organizations that want to participate.<\/p>\n

According to Manny Guerra, Council Board President, the three meetings put the Adelante Con Camp Perry campaign well on the road to a successful completion. \u201cSo far, we have pledges and challenge grants totaling 5.3 million dollars. We want all interested parties to call us so that we may have one-on-one meetings in order to go over the building efforts and various naming opportunities for projects that are available\u201d said Guerra. He added, \u201cof course, a straight out donation or pledges of any size will be appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n
