Meeting Frequency and Length:
The 13th Aguayaam Guan has multiple sections but we like to meet together with all ages as much as possible!
We usually have 1 or 2 meetings a month and those are normally on Sundays, (most of our families have indicated that this is a good schedule for them.) This might change if we have a special event like a campout, guest speaker, workshop, or if our group ever votes for another time in the future. So far this schedule has worked for us!
Meetings are usually around 1 hour but sometimes they can go a little over depending on the activity, and our scouts!
Meeting Locations:
Regular meeting locations can vary around the city, but we tend to meet close to downtown at places like the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, South Side Lions Park, Olmos Basin Park, and many other natural spaces near the heart of the city.
Covid-19 Protocols:
We just started meeting in person again over the summer of 2021, and our meetings are outdoors. Previously, we held online/virtual meetings with pretty good success!
Next Steps:
Scouts in the 13th Aguayaam Guan are divided into four sections with age-appropriate activities and advancements
Traditional scouting is a method that harkens back to the original principles and practices of scouting. The Outdoor Service Guides (OSG) program and coursework are modeled after original scouting texts, and our method is simple: we promote good citizenship, self-reliance, loyalty, and outdoor skills. Our focus is on empowering youth through hands-on practice in small groups, led by peer leadership.
Our program is outdoors-focused and our goal is to engage our scouts in immersive, experiential outdoor skills. Group activities are outdoors, at all times of year. In each section, scouts are pursuing outdoor stewardship and self-reliance in natural spaces.
Service is one of the core tenets of our program in all age groups. Youth and adults are actively participating in meaningful service in their community, school, and home. From packing donations at a local food bank, to restoring a watershed by planting native trees, scouts are giving their time and service to people and places that need it most.
