No GDX this year—instead, we're celebrating the start of the Scouting year with a Pool Party at Fretz Park Pool!

When: Aug 2 2026 - 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: The Cove Aquatic Center at Fretz - 14778 Hillcrest Rd, Dallas, TX 75254
Event Details: Register HERE

Come make a splash with Troop 1001 as we kick off the 2026–2027 Scouting year! Join us at Fretz Park Pool on Sunday, August 2, from 1:00–5:00 PM for an afternoon of swimming, fun, and fellowship. It's a great chance to cool off, reconnect with friends, meet your new patrol mates, and start the new program year together.

The cost is $25 per Scout, which includes pool admission and light snacks for the afternoon. We’re excited to see everyone there and kick off another great year of Scouting!

Bring the whole family! Parents, siblings, and other family members are welcome to come swim, relax, and enjoy the afternoon alongside the Troop at their own cost ($14 admission)

We’ll have a shaded gathering area reserved under the pavilion, providing a comfortable place to relax, connect with other Troop families, and cheer on the Scouts as they enjoy the afternoon.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working toward earning my Eagle Scout rank, and I’m raising funds for my Eagle Scout Service Project. The project will provide jumbo yard games (including Jumbo Jenga, Tic-Tac-Toe, and a story board) for The Sandlot to create fun, family-friendly activities for the community.

If you’d like to support my project, any donation—big or small—is greatly appreciated and will go directly toward purchasing the materials needed to complete it.

You can donate here: https://gofund.me/11e56b8ca

Thank you for supporting both my Eagle Scout journey and a project that will benefit our community. I truly appreciate your generosity!

Sincerely,

Jackson Ritsema
