We are headed back to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Peak they are both amazing natural attractions that offer breathtaking experiences for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Carlsbad Caverns, located in New Mexico, is renowned for its stunning underground limestone formations, vast cave systems, and bat flights. Meanwhile, the Guadalupe Peak hike, situated in Texas, offers a challenging yet rewarding trek to the highest point in Texas, providing hikers with panoramic views of the surrounding desert and mountains. This will be an amazing trip that you will talk about for a long time.

We will be hitting some of the best rapids on the Guadeloupe River. We have gone down the river in tubes before but we have never been through this section! If you want a preview to whitewater rafting in a downscaled venue on a tube.

This will be an awesome Lock-in with a ton of fun activities. They will handle everything so you just need to show up and have fun!
Summer Camp Survey
Summer Camp is a very important part of your Scouts journey. This is where they can learn independence, and leadership, and is just as important for the new Scouts as it is for older Scouts. This is where they can knock out rank advancements, merit badges as well as learn new skills like rock climbing, canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, shooting sports, and fishing, as well as well as learning decision making and responsibility. This is also the place where they will meet new friends and solidify friendships that they already have in the Troop. I have personally seen more changes come from Scouts that went to Summer Camp than anything else they do all year.
We are polling to see the interest in a regular Summer Camp this year and where everyone would like to go. Even if you do not want to send your scout to Summer Camp please fill out the survey. We are also looking for parents that would be willing to help out with the Summer Camp and the planning.
Please fill out the Survey Monkey by following the link below.
