    First Assembly of God San Antonio, 13435 West Ave, San Antonio, TX 78216, USA

    We’re planning EDGE24 to add sharpness to your leadership and build the brotherhood of leaders in South Texas! To make EDGE time well spent, we’ve planned classes and activities that you’ll enjoy no matter when you can arrive. Bring your entire outpost leadership team and make a weekend full of memories!

    No matter how new or experienced you may be at mentoring future men, you’ll have multiple chances to take new and skills information away from the conference. For the first time ever, we’re hosting a Basic Archery Instructor course through NASP during the day on Friday to give interested leaders the skills they need to safely and successfully incorporate archery activities into their outpost. Both Friday and Saturday offer a large variety of new, relevant classes featuring “subject-matter experts” in many areas of adventure, skills, leadership, strategy, and Ranger ministry.
