Boy Scouts
Northwest Texas Council of Boy Scouts of America… Evan was a shy boy who found purpose within the Scouting program. Initially hesitant to speak to anyone beyond his close circle, he discovered his potential as a leader within his unit. Over the course of several years of summer camp, he began to embrace the challenges and camaraderie around him. In 2023 he attended the National Jamboree, the pinnacle of Scouting, which provided him with an unparalleled opportunity for growth and self-discovery. From there he embarked on an unforgettable sailing expedition at BSA Seabase navigating the waters of the Florida Keys for five exhilarating days. He was not only testing his physical abilities, but it instilled in him a deep sense of teamwork and overcoming challenges which charted a course of success. Later he was honored as the Optimist Club of Wichita Falls youth of the year from the Boy Scouts. From a timid and hesitant boy, Evan has emerged as a confident and capable young man, ready to make a positive impact on the world around him.
