SUZANNE FULKERSON Owner | Team Lead
Abilene has always been lovingly known as the city you can’t help but return to. It’s the warm - hearted people, business owners, natives, and dreamers alike who breathe life into this town, making it an irreplaceable place to call home. We all share a love for this land, where the West tenderly meets the Hill Country. From rolling hills adorned with stoic oaks to the resilient mesquites standing proud against the red earth, the landscape of Abilene is truly breathtaking. Yet, no beauty compares to the heart and soul of this city: the people. It is their kindness, their unwavering spirit, and the generosity of their hearts that make Abilene feel like home to anyone who crosses her borders. Indeed, all roads lead back to Abilene, where love, warmth, and community reside.
This publication is my humble tribute to the city and its cherished residents. It is an honor to bring Volume 1 of The Scout Guide Abilene to life, a heartfelt work dedicated to those who have paved the roads back to our beloved town. As someone who has always been drawn to her charm, I can honestly say that the warmth of this place, in both its beauty and its people, is unlike anywhere else.
