The State Employee Charitable Campaign is the only statutorily-authorized workplace campaign for state agency and higher education employees in Texas. Thanks to legislation that created the SECC in 1993, employees of state agencies, junior and community colleges, universities, and retirees throughout Texas enjoy the benefit of giving to many of their favorite charities through an annual workplace giving campaign which features the convenience of payroll deduction. State of Texas employees have contributed $189.75 MILLION through the SECC since its inception in 1993, providing aid to their family, friends, neighbors, and countless others in need across our state. It’s not hard to understand why employees of the how does it work? Each fall, you get the opportunity to learn about the charities in the SECC, choose which Friendship State have ones you want to help, and then fill out a pledge form to indicate how much you wish responded enthusiastically to donate to which groups. Your gift can be deducted from each paycheck beginning to the SECC since 1993: the next calendar year or you can make a one-time gift by cash or check. • Our contributions help The campaign runs annually, September through October. improve the quality During this time period, you can expect to receive information about this year’s SECC of life for people in charities and a pledge form.

Contributions made by state agency employees are distributed by the State Comptroller to participating federations, who then send the funds along to their members. Each university distributes funds to federations through its own payroll system. At the local level, the Local Campaign Managers distribute the funds the same way. But because it is almost impossible to account for donations lost through such things as an employee leaving or transferring, a percentage method is used to distribute funds. At the end of each year’s campaign, the percent of funds pledged to each charity is calculated. Each charity then receives that percentage of what is eventually collected. Undesignated pledges are shared with all participating charities using the same percentage. Each charity also pays its share of the cost of running the campaign (printed materials, etc.) based on the same percentage. how much should I give? a low ov How much to give is totally up to you; your personal generosity is no one’s th er business but your own and remains confidential.

We are very excited about this camping season and sincerely hope you and your units are as well. The primary purpose of camp is for Scouts to have FUN! While advancing in rank and merit badges are undoubtedly important aspects of the camping experience, the goal of both Circle Ten and the staff at TRJ is to ensure that our Scouts can engage and enjoy as many programs as possible. With that in mind, we have designed Friday morning as a “makeup day” to help our Scouts catch up on what they missed because they were experiencing other activities and merit badge programs during summer camp. With all the activities and merit badge programs that Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp has to offer, it is VITAL that your unit takes time to discuss our activities and merit badge program offerings with your Scouts and allow them to make choices based on their individual advancement goal and interests and experiences that will make summer camp FUN!.
