Please in prayer for all our Scouts!

Irreplaceable artifacts were lost, but longtime scouts say the traditions, friendships, and spirit built over nearly a century will endure.

Proverbs 31:20 says, "She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy". This verse highlights a generous spirit, showing that true strength and character involving kindness and active care for people who are hurting or lack basic needs.

Robyn Yerian at age 70, has found a way to help women in need with affordable housing and community. She took her own retirement money to create a tiny home community for women in Cumby, Texas. Link below is more of her story.

At 70 years old, Robyn Yerian from Texas used about $150,000 of her retirement savings to build something extraordinary — an all-women tiny-home community called The Bird’s Nest.

On five acres near Cumby, Texas, she created a place for women, many single, widowed, or divorced, who wanted independence, friendship, and affordable housing. Residents live in tiny homes or RVs, paying around $450 a month for their lots while sharing chores, meals, and laughter. In a world where women are increasingly targeted and in danger, this community feels like a safe space for women to watch over one another and build upon their creative dreams.

Robyn’s dream was simple: to build a place where women could age with dignity, not loneliness. Today, about a dozen women call The Bird’s Nest home, and hundreds more are on the waiting list to join.

The need for ideas like this is real. Nearly 43% of women over 75 live alone. About 14% of Americans aged 65 and older live below the poverty line. And women are far more likely than men to struggle financially in retirement.

Affordable, community-based living like The Bird’s Nest can ease both financial strain and isolation — proving that sometimes, the most valuable investment isn’t money at all, but connection, courage, and care.️
