Troop 407 - Camp Constantin Summer Camp

 
The Rotary Club of San Antonio at The Dominion sponsors several local Scouting units.  One of them is Troop 407.  Troop 407 has 16 members that range in ages from 10 to 17.  The troop meets year-round in Fair Oaks Ranch.  During June, 13 of the troop's members and 4 adult leaders spent a week at Camp Constantin on scenic Possum Kingdom Lake.  The campers stayed in canvas A-frame tents pitched on top of on wood platforms and ate meals in an air conditioned dining hall.  During the day, the Scouts attended hands-on classes they selected from a variety of subjects.  Classes our Scouts took included sailing, canoeing, lifesaving, archery, rifle shooting, auto maintenance, basketry, and welding.  One Scout spent most of the week on a canoe trip that had him camping in different locations along the lake, snorkeling, and fishing.  Each of the Scouts had a good time and earned several activity badges (called merit badges).  Two of our scouts give a glimpse of what summer camp was like for some of the Scouts the Rotary Club supports.  Thank you for supporting us.  John McCune, Scoutmaster, Scouts BSA Troop 407

Troop 701 - Camp Strake Summer Camp

Troop 701 was privileged to have eight scouts and five adults attend Camp Strake June 9th through June 14th.  This BSA camp is affiliated with the Sam Houston Area Council and is in Coldspring, Texas, about one hour north of Houston.  Though close to a metropolitan area, the camp is in the rural piney-wood section of Texas.  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

Ending Polio

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.

Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.

Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

Update on Water, Sanitation and Dignity Rotary Global Grant Project 

The official handover of new toilets and a kitchen at Samuel Ntsiko School, the last of seven schools to benefit from a Rotary Global Grant, was a joyous occasion. This remarkable transformation was made possible through the generous contributions of Rotary clubs worldwide, including a significant $1,000 donation from the Dominion Rotary Club.

The project, a long but rewarding journey, has brought about an amazing change for the students and teachers. The excitement and gratitude of the children is a testament to the impact of this endeavor.

While the official handover marks a significant milestone, the work continues. Additional improvements, ongoing education programs, and the fostering of strong partnerships with local schools are all part of ensuring the project's lasting impact.

April 27 Pack 109 Natural Bridge Caverns Trip

Pack 109 had a great day at Natural Bridge Caverns this past Saturday!  The Scouts had a private tour of the cavern and its amazing formations.  They learned about the history of the caverns’ formation and enjoyed a pizza party together afterwards.  Everyone had a great time!

Polio Eradication And The Strengthening Of Public Health Systems

Polio Eradication And The Strengthening Of Public Health, an article in Forbes Magazine

Polio’s defeat lies within reach.

Today, wild poliovirus (WPV) is endemic in just two countries with 12 existing cases between them: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Vaccination has eliminated the disease in every other country of the world. Vaccination campaigns aim to reach every child who remains unvaccinated in these countries — auguring a complete end to the transmission of WPV. The victory would make polio the second infectious disease, after smallpox, to be certified eradicated.

Among the many reasons to celebrate the polio eradication capstone is the creation of a durable polio infrastructure that can be integrated with national health systems to tackle other diseases and strengthen health emergency response systems.

For 35 years, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) has spearheaded a mass vaccination effort. Composed of national governments and partner organizations, this innovative international public-private partnership developed the knowledge, network and tools to conduct mass polio immunization campaigns. Rotary International, a GPEI founding member along with UNICEF, has played a distinct and integral role. Rotary’s advocacy, fundraising and community mobilization have made possible the immunization of 3 billion children since GPEI’s founding in 1988, when polio still paralyzed 1,000 children every day.

Nov 17 Toy Drive Great Success!

It was a great day at Leon Springs H-E-B to collect toys for the Methodist Hospital children’s group at Christmas time. The drive is for toys
for children who are in the hospital and would not otherwise receive toys for Christmas. We raised a lot
of cash and had a lot of fun to help the children.

7 reasons young people should join Rotary

 
I have a message for all you young people out there who may never have heard about Rotary. Or if you have, it was from a parent or grandparent who spent more time talking about the lunch menu or how great the salad bar is. If that’s all you’ve heard about Rotary, then you’re missing a lot. And let me tell you why, in the middle of this pandemic, Rotary is more relevant than ever. It’s definitely something you want to know about.
