Tomahawk
District is a part of Circle
Ten
Council
and is
composed of Troops and Packs from the
Mesquite,
Sunnyvale,
Seagoville,
and Balch Springs areas in the Dallas
suburbs. This is an area in east Dallas
county in Texas. While our area is mostly
suburbs, parts of it comprise urban inner
city as well as rural countryside. Our
leaders embrace this diversity and we are
proud of it. Our scouts are well know in
the community for their spirited efforts
in the Scouting for Food drive. Our
community depends on this effort to help
the needy in our area.
The
leadership of Tomahawk District is
committed to providing rewarding
activities to the scouts. They support the
annual fishing derby, Cub Scout fun day,
all derby day and the Circle Ten Scout
Expo. Training for leadership is provided
to all levels, from Tiger den leaders to
Scoutmasters. If you are planning on
getting your son or yourself involved in
scouting, then Tomahawk has a place for
you. Please enjoy the rest of our website
and let us know what you think.
Within
My Power
I am not a
Very Important Man, as importance is
commonly rated. I do not have great
wealth, control a big company, or occupy a
position of great honor or authority. Yet
I may someday mold destiny. For it is
within my power to become the most
important man in the world in the life of
a boy. And every boy is a potential atom
bomb in human history.
A humble
citizen like myself might have been the
Scoutmaster of a Troop in which an
undersized unhappy Austrian lad by the
name of Adolph might have found a joyous
boyhood, goodwill, and kindness. And the
world would have been different. A humble
citizen like myself might have been the
organizer of a Scout Troop in which a
Russian boy called Joe might have learned
the lessons of democratic
cooperation.
These men
would have never have known that they had
averted world tragedy, yet actually they
would have been among the most important
men who ever lived. All about me are boys,
they are the makers of history, the
builders of tomorrow. If I can have some
part in guiding them up the trial of
Scouting, on the high road of noble
character and constructive citizenship, I
may prove to be the most important man in
their lives, the most important man in the
community.
A hundred
years from now it will not matter what my
bank account was, the sort of house I
lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But
the world may be different, because I was
Important in the life of a boy.
