Nestled in the heart of Texas, the Hill Country is a land rich in history, picturesque landscapes, and a touch of magic. This resilient community was settled by the Germans, arriving amidst a landscape already inhabited by the Comanche tribe, in the mid 1800s. Through the decades, the people of this land have demonstrated unmatched tenacity and perseverance—facing harsh irregular weather, rugged terrain, and Native American raids with unwavering resolve.
Today, the Hill Country continues to welcome visitors and residents alike, offering an abundance of peaches, vibrant wildflowers, and flourishing vineyards. Its rolling hills and charming towns each tells its own unique story, making this region a true gem of Texas.
Yet this year, has brought devastating floods to communities such as Comfort, Kerrville, Ingram and Hunt. These natural disasters have caused tragic losses, heartbreaks, and significant damage. While we mourn those we've lost, we also celebrate the indomitable spirit of our community—the same spirit that has carried us through hardships before. The Scout Guide stands with you, honoring your resilience and unwavering drive to rebuild. We invite everyone to support our local businesses, artisans, and neighbors who have struggled and lost everything. Your support—whether through donations, shopping local, volunteering, or sharing kind words—can help restore the heart of our community.
Together, we are Texas Strong. Together, we will rebuild and flourish once more. #TexasStrong #HillCountryResilience #SupportLocal
