Every February, Boy Scout representatives across Texas gather at the Capitol for Report to State to update state leaders on their community service and accomplishments over the last year. This year, 15-yearold Trevor Suggs of Georgetown Troop 405 was nominated by the San Gabriel District to represent Scout troops in the Georgetown area. Troop 405 Scoutmaster Dustin Hammit says, “Trevor is a very bright and talented Scout. I was very proud he was able to represent the Scouts from our district.”

Trevor was excited to meet an array of notable individuals, from former Governor Rick Perry to keynote speaker Colonel Vito Errico, co-director of the Army Software Factory. The experience was also an exciting opportunity to practice public speaking in a friendly environment as master of ceremonies for the event. “It was a privilege to speak in such a historic location among so many of my successful peers," he says. "I got a front-row seat to listen to all the delegates from across the state give the reports about the great things happening in scouting in their respective councils."
