The Council is devoted to promoting the ability of boys and girls, as well as young men and women, to do things for themselves and others, training them in Scoutcraft and teaching them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and similar virtues, using the methods now in everyday use by the National Council. See Schedule O The Council's programs are as follows: Lion Scouts is a fun introduction to the Scouting program for kindergarten-age youth eager to get going. Lions have adventures with their adult partners and other Lions every month. This program introduces youth and their families to Scouting and the outdoors, building a foundation of character. A Lion den is part of the Cub Scout pack. Tiger Scouts is a one-year, family-oriented program for a group of teams, each consisting of a first-grade (or 7-year-old) boy or girl and an adult partner (usually a parent). A Tiger den is part of the Cub Scout pack. Cub Scouting is a Family- and community-centered approach to learning citizenship, compassion, and courage through service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Scouts BSA is a year-round program for youth aged 11 to 17 that provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility to help them become the best version of themselves. With the Scout Oath and Scout Law as guides, and the support of parents, religious, and neighborhood organizations, Scouts develop an awareness and appreciation of their role in the community and become well-rounded young men and women, ages 10 through 17, through the advancement of the program. Scouts progress in rank through achievements, gain additional knowledge and responsibilities, and earn merit badges that introduce a lifelong hobby or a rewarding career. Venturing provides experiences to help young men and women, ages 14 through 20, become mature, responsible, caring adults. Young people learn leadership skills and participate in challenging outdoor activities, including having access to Boy Scout camping properties, a recognition program, and Youth Protection training. Exploring is a program that enables young people to become responsible individuals by teaching positive character traits, career development, leadership, and life skills so that they can make ethical choices and achieve their full potential. 854042 ScoutReach is the Sam Houston Area Council's initiative to provide an opportunity for all young people to join Scouting, regardless of their circumstances, neighborhood, or ethnic background. ScoutReach places special emphasis on leadership development for economically disadvantaged youth through non-traditional methods. Through caring, well-trained, and paid leadership, and in partnership with schools, a Scouting program is delivered during the school day to all eligible students at no cost to the student or the school. ScoutReach delivers a Scouting program to our most needy youth in at-risk neighborhoods of Southeast Texas. 11871188 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 47 0 1 312 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 51 51 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Carisa Hill 7137563367 2225 N Loop West Houston TX 77008 Daniel G Bellow Immediate Past Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 William J Berger Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Allen D Brown Vice Chair -

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 5 In 2024, the SHAC was the victim of a cyberfraud incident involving social engineering. An employee was deceived by logging into a spoofed website, resulting in unauthorized transfers totaling $812,612. The majority of the funds were recovered, resulting in a net loss of $296,749 for SHAC. A forensic investigation determined that SHAC's established internal controls and treasury protocols were in place and adequate; however, the employee acted outside of standard procedures, which led to the incident. SHAC has continued to reinforce its internal controls by providing ongoing training and education to employees on treasury procedures, information technology security, and cyberfraud prevention.
