Scouts Invited to the Texas Brahmas' Playoffs

In case you did not know, The Texas Brahmas are still in the CHL Playoffs. After knocking off Mississippi and Bossier-Shreveport in the first two rounds, we now play the Colorado Eagles in the Northern Conference Finals. We will be hosting games 4 & 5 here at the NYTEX Sports Centre on April 18th and 19th. We would love for your Pack or Troop to come out and cheer on the Brahmas. They can contact me to process their order or ask any questions. The terrace tickets will be discounted for you to $10 (regular $14 for this round of the playoffs).

Thank you for all of your efforts, and we look forward to welcoming out some of the Scouts once again to help cheer the Brahmas in the quest for the President's Cup.
