Reservations
For those who make advance reservations and bring their own bedroll and sleeping pad, The Jack Bryant Scout Center makes overnight accommodations available at $3.00 per person per night with no minimum and require a reservation form and $10.00 (non-refundable) deposit to hold the reservation. Please contact our building representative, Julie Bailey (julie null@null wolframlaw NULL.com?Subject=Scout Center Reservation Request), and she will send your group a detailed information package.
Accommodations
Our accommodations include rest rooms, showers, and a committee room with its own doors, and a small training Room. Bring your own cots and bedrolls. There are lots of things to do at and around the Scout Center. Many troops use our facilities while passing through to Philmont Scout Ranch. We had close to 1,500 scouters stay with us last year and are expecting as many this year. We do book multiple troops per night depending on numbers. We now have wifi internet access and can give you access to our dvd player and projector if you want to relax and watch a movie after your long drive (contact Doug Walker at 806-341-4343 to setup projector access). There is also a basketball goal in our North parking lot. If you show up on a Tuesday evening, you can join in our Troop meeting from 7-9 pm.
History of the Scout Center
The land for this center was initially acquired in 1962. Winston Smith, attorney with the Underwood, Wilson Law firm provided the title work. The building was built and opened in 1967. A new roof was installed in 2006.
The building was renamed and dedicated in 1991 as the Jack Bryant Scout Center in honor of Jack Bryant, Scoutmaster of Troop 80 from 1955-1985. The facilities which house the Fred Poppe Scout Museum were installed in late 1997 and early 1998, under the direction of Walter Wolfram (walter null@null wolframlaw NULL.com) and Bob Wieck (rewieck null@null sbcglobal NULL.net)
In March 1955, Jack Bryant agreed to serve as “Interim” Scoutmaster, a position in which he remained until March 1985, at which time he became Scoutmaster Emeritus, a position he held until his death in January 1994. He was an Eagle Scout, a Wood Badger;
held the Honor of Silver Beaver and Silver Antelope. He also served as President of the Llano Estacado Council (now the Golden Spread Council (http://www NULL.goldenspread NULL.org/)) of the Boy Scouts of America.
