During the Sam Houston Area Council Sporting Clays Tournament, there is a large live and silent auction. Around $75,000.00 worth of merchandise will be auctioned off. In the past, items in the auction included golf outings, hunting trips to local lodges, a week at a Colorado condo with airfare, a week in Napa Valley and the California Redwoods with airfare, a dove hunting trip to Argentina with airfare, and much more. 

Raffle packages ($100 and $250) are also available; raffle items typically include guns (of all types), art work, golf certificates, restaurant gift certificates, and much more. 

Please consider donating items for the event. 

Where does the money go?

Funds raised from the annual Sam Houston Area Council BSA Sporting Clays Tournament go to support the Scouting program in the greater Houston Area. Scouting teaches self-reliance, strength of purpose and conviction of character. These are the values that have guided the Sam Houston Area Council over the years. While there are many youth organizations, including sports, service clubs, fitness and educational programs that help young people, Scouting goes above and beyond by providing activities that:

• Allows youth to try new things
• Features a learn-by doing approach
• Provides service to others
• Reinforces ethical standards
• Builds self-confidence and leadership
• Includes fun, adventure and values that last a lifetime.
