The Blackland Prairie District Awards Banquet will be on Thursday evening, February 16, 2012 at the Frank Fickett Scout Training and Service Center.  The Frank Fickett Center is located along the south bound frontage road for IH 35, just south of the Parmer Lane intersection, in Austin, Texas.
 
This year's District Banquet will start at 7:00 pm and will recognize several adult leaders for their exceptional service to the youth of our units for the past year.
 
As mentioned above, this year there are many changes and enhancements planned for the Banquet to streamline the award process, giving more time for our guest speaker to talk to the District and the biggest change is, this year there will be a catered bar-b-que dinner.  Adult tickets will be $10 per person and youth age 10 and under will cost $5 per person.  No pot-luck preparations needed this year.  Registration for this event will be available on line starting Monday at www.bsacac.org .
 
There will be a separate Eagle Scout Recognition Ceremony held at the Fickett Center, where the Council will unveil the new plaques made on the Eagle Wall showing your son’s names as part of the 2011 class of honorees.  This ceremony will be held the following Saturday afternoon, February 18th, at the Fickett Center starting at 1:30 pm, more information is available at the Council website www.bsacac.org/activities/eaglereception.
