               CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
            
                          WHEREAS, The Buffalo Trail Council of Scouts BSA is 
         
            celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2023; and
         
                          WHEREAS, In response to a lack of scouting in West Texas, the 
         
            Buffalo Trail Council was organized on November 1, 1923, and its 
         
            name reflects the presence of buffalo tracks found in the sandstone 
         
            near Big Spring; in 1948, the council acquired a 6,000-acre tract of 
         
            land in the Davis Mountains for camping, and a council service 
         
            center was purchased in 1959 in Midland following a fundraising 
         
            campaign; in addition to gifts from the Humble Pipe Line Company and 
         
            the Mobil oil company, the group received land from the American 
         
            Petrofina Corporation and a large dining hall, and over the years, 
         
            what came to be known as the Hughes Aquatic Base has been used for 
         
            programs such as aquatic camps, wood badge and University of 
         
            Scouting College of Commissioner Science courses, weekend camping, 
         
            and other training events; and
         
                          WHEREAS, Today, the Buffalo Trail Council encompasses more 
         
            than 30 units and its members include more than 700 scouts from 
         
            Brewster, Presidio, Jeff Davis, Culberson, Reeves, Loving, 
         
            Winkler, Ward, Ector, Andrews, Midland, Martin, Howard, Glasscock, 
         
            Mitchell, Borden, Scurry, and Sterling Counties; and
         
                          WHEREAS, The Buffalo Trail Council has made a significant 
         
            difference in the lives of countless young Texans while 
         
            contributing to the betterment of the community, and it is indeed a 
         
            pleasure to join in recognizing this momentous milestone in the 
         
            group's rich history; now, therefore, be it
         
                          RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas, 
         
            4th Called Session, hereby commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the 
         
            Buffalo Trail Council of Scouts BSA and extend to all those 
         
            affiliated with the group sincere best wishes for the future; and, 
         
            be it further
         
                          RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
         
            prepared for the council as an expression of high regard by the 
         
            Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
