Martin Payne - Capitol Area Council Camping Director
“I have been a professional Scout Executive for over 25 years and served for three different Councils in the Southern Region. My service to Scouting is driven by what Scouting does to turn a boy into a young man. The Hornaday Award Weekend is a program that empowers the Scout who wants to go the extra mile. It truly is a Scouting experience like no other I have ever help develop or even seen in Scouting. I encourage you to come be a part of the Hornaday Award Weekend legacy!”
Mark Smith - Lost Pines Scout Reservation Cub World Coordinator and Camp Director
“I have worked with youth my entire life. The Hornaday Award Weekends at Lost Pines is a first class scouting experience. I have never seen a youth conservation program as professional and well organized as this program. I was amazed when I saw my first weekend!”
Hilary Johns - Longhorn District Hornaday Award Committee member
"I have been involved with conservation, recycling and alternate energy projects since I was a Boy Scout. I have a Master's degree in geology and work for an environmental consulting firm where we routinely work on waste clean up and natural resource protection projects. I believe America's youth should have a strong connection to the environment and dedicate themselves to "living lightly" on our planet. It is an honor working with the Boy Scouts on the Hornaday Award Weekend program to help achieve this goal."
Our Vision Statement
The Hornaday Award Weekend vision is creating a program that empowers any Scout who wants to protect and manage our natural resources the opportunity through earning the prestigious BSA Hornaday Award.
