Hello! My name is Steven Sun and I'm currently working on my Boy Scout Eagle Project. I've been working on making and placing a Gaga Ball Pit near the playground and baseball area in Heights Park Richardson. This Gaga Ball pit will be able to be used and enjoyed by everyone who visits the park, so whether you are able to donate funds or donate a bit of your time, I am extremely grateful!
I would very much appreciate your support for this project! No amount is too small! Click HERE to access my GoFundMe link to donate.

I want to inform you of an opportunity for den chief training for any scouts interested in this position. It will be held in conjunction with Cub Scout Leader Training, but will be a separate course. Please pass this information on to your scouts. I can help them get matched up with a Pack if they have no affiliation already. As a reminder, Den Chief is a position of leadership for First Class scouts and higher, and scouts must be First Class rank and higher to take this course. If you would like to take advantage of this training opportunity and become a Den Chief, please register at the link below. Thank you, Becca Bradleygoteeu@gmail.com
An invitation to staff or participate in the 2024 fall ALT and IOLS,
I am the course director for the fall 2024 ALT (adult leadership training or Leadership Specific Training) and IOLS (introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills).Being key 3 members of your scouting units, you understand the need to have trained adults.Every scout deserves a trained adult.
We are asking for participants to take these courses, as well as volunteers to help staff these two courses.
·The ALT course is October 5th, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm at First United Methodist Church Richardson (FUMCR).
·The IOLS course is on October 19th & 20th with staff check in on October 18th by 8:00 pm at Camp Wisdom
We are looking for staff to be troop guides or/and instructors for the fall training.We will have other experienced leaders helping you through these positions.Positions mostly are for Troop Guides and back up Troop Guides. Don’t feel intimidated, you will have experienced people leading the way and training you to be a trainer. The only requirement is that you have taken these courses already
To be a participant, all that is required is to be a chartered member of a scouting unit, pack troop, crew, etc, with a up to date YPT.
This can be your way to give back, get involved in Scout training and to give back to those that have paved the way for you in the past.
The FUN part is working with people that have the same heart as you.We work & train together, camping at IOLS in the staff camp with meals prepared for us, and at ALT as staff coming together for a common goal of teaching our future leaders. Meet & get to know other scout leaders and share your knowledge.
Please consider sending your scouting adults to these courses, and thank you in advance for your considerations.
I hope you all can join us for this months work day on Saturday September 21st. We will be playing Mother Nature!
I will have lots of individual containers filled will a mix of Native grass and North Texas native flower seed for each of you to distribute.
Please bring your garden gloves, sun, bug projection and water to stay hydrated. Also, If you have a small hand rake like the one shown below with the seed, please bring it.
Our experiment with the EZ straw last year was not perfect, but I was very happy with the results… so we will continue with that strategy possibly adding some tiering on the slopes if we can get the city to donate erosion bail supplies. We will also plan a second seed planting in the early spring if we can secure the funding for more seed.
I want to give a big shout out to all the scouts and other volunteers that watered our precious plants through September! Thank you all for your help and support!
