The Conquistador Council’s 100th Anniversary Gala on November 8, 2025, was an unforgettable evening filled with camaraderie, reflection, and pride in a century of Scouting.

On October 18, the Conquistador Council will proudly host a National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) Ceremony honoring two remarkable leaders from Roswell, New Mexico — Steve Henderson and Mike “Winters” Sisson.

Each evening during the National Championship Air Races, friends gathered at ENMU–Roswell’s Performing Arts Center for our Scouting Movie Nights. The mix was wonderful—some familiar faces returning, and a majority of new ones joining us for the first time.

Everyone has a Scouting story worth telling. Maybe it’s the laughter around a campfire, the breathtaking view at the end of a long hike, or the friend who has been by your side since your very first pack meeting. These moments are more than just memories—they are the heart of Scouting.

The roar of engines, the thrill of speed, and the pride of Roswell—THIS WEEK, September 10–13, history will be made as Roswell hosts the National Championship Air Races for the very first time.

On a beautiful, albeit warm, evening in Artesia, New Mexico, nearly 50 attendees gathered at Baish Veterans Park to witness a moment that will live in the annals of Scouting in our region: the presentation of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA) to Mr. St. Clair Peyton Yates, Jr.—known to many simply as “P.Y.”

Every year on August 1st, Scouts around the globe mark World Scout Scarf Day by proudly wearing their scarves—or neckerchiefs—as a symbol of unity, identity, and the enduring spirit of Scouting.

Lea County Scouts from Troops 300, 301, and 3274, along with Explorers from Lea County Sheriff’s Explorer Post 384, participated as actors in the Hobbs Police Department and Hobbs Fire Department’s first Active Shooter Drill.
