Scout Lodging in Amarillo, Texas

Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 09:29:13 -0600
From: Terry Slade Subject: Do you need Lodging?

Over 1500 Scouts and Scouters stayed at our Hut last year on their way to Philmont and Scout ranches in New Mexico and Colorado. We will be pleased to provide lodging for you and your unit. We furnish the building and you furnish the bedroll. Our "Jack Bryant" Scouting Center is Air-conditioned and has showers and a kitchen. A seperate room can be used by your female members if needed.

Located in beautiful downtown Amarillo, Texas and very easy to find, our Hut is the perfect place to layover after a long drive. We are right next door to fine eating and entertainment establishments. All we ask is that you make your reservations early and contribute $3.00 for each person in your group for each night you plan to stay to help us pay our expences.

Let me know if anyone in your unit is interested and we will send a welcome packet and reservation form to you. Pass the word to your other units in your Councils.
