Scouters of the Comanche Trail Council began the Camp Billy Gibbons Alumni
Association in 1987 to provide an opportunity for those with a special
interest in Camp Billy Gibbons to give a dedicated gift of $25 dues, each
year, to Camp Billy Gibbons Maintenance and Program Enhancement.
This money allowed the council to buy program supplies and to do maintenance
on the camp over the years. The dues were paid each January and deposited
in a designated fund until used for the camp.
There were 66 Charter members
the first year of the Association. Each member received a special
"Charter Member" membership card. This special "Charter Member" card
was issued each year that the member paid their $25 dues. According to
Roy Curbo, the first meeting, to organize the Association, was held in
the OA Lodge at Camp Billy Gibbons.
To become a Camp Billy Gibbons Alumni Lifetime Member a person made a onetime gift of $500 to the Trust Fund of the Council. There were eleven Lifetime Members and several others who were paying $100 a year toward their Lifetime Membership.
During the 12 years the Association existed, over $10,000 was used by the camp and some $5,000 given to the Trust Fund of the Council. The group existed up until
the Comanche Trail Council consolidated with Chisholm Trail Council to
form the Texas Trails Council on January 1, 2003. At that time, the
Alumni Association was disbanded by the new council as they did not want
money given for a particular camp, but to the council to be used in all
the camps owned by the Texas Trails Council. The last Chairman of
the Alumni Association was Perry A. "Butch" Wakefield of Stephenville.

We thank Hubert Swann of Brownwood for providing us the scans of the membership card and the coffee mug. |
In
2001, Hubert Swan of Brownwood, had a coffee mug made, designed by Shirley
Teaque, to give to all those who signed up in the Alumni Association for
that year.
