BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Black Warrior Council
Scouting is about fun, active learning, and outdoor adventures, all under the watchful eye of trained, adult leaders who serve as role models to guide our youth as they grow into young adults. The aims of Scouting center around character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The outdoors are a central part of our methods to deliver the Scouting program in a way that motivates, inspires, and engages youth members.
The Black Warrior Council has Cub Scout Packs, Scout Troops, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts throughout our twelve counties (Tuscaloosa, Bibb, Hale, Pickens, Walker, Winston, Fayette, Sumter, Lamar, Marion, Marengo, and Greene). Youth may join Scouting any time throughout the year, so why wait? Join in the fun, join in the adventure, get started today in a Scouting unit in your area!
Black Warrior Council Mourns the Passing of
Former Camp Horne Ranger: Mr. John H. Price
John H. Price served as the Camp Ranger for app. 27 years. He loved Camp Horne, the Scouts who attended, and worked tirelessly to be sure he took the best care possible of all the camp facilities. Early on in his career he stated, "I took this job to have a job, I loved the outdoors. Now that I see what Scouting means to so many, I am now completely dedicated." And dedicated he was, Mr. Price went well beyond the call of duty in his work as Camp Ranger. He also served for many years as a volunteer beyond his staff duties. He was the Scountmaster of Troop 28 in Cottondale. In recent years, Mr. Price had moved to St. Cloud, FL to live with his sister. He passed away May 8, 2024. Scouting lost one of the best yesterday, but his memory and legacy will live on!
Services: Wednesday, May 15th - visitation at 10; funeral at 11.
