SIGN UP NOW REGISTRATION CLOSES: Sept 3, 11:30pm

The national Council announced an update to the Youth Protection guidelines for “Adult Supervision” that will go into effect September 1, 2023.  In short, the “72-hour rule” is going away and any adult that is staying overnight in connection with a Scouting activity must be registered in a qualified unit position such as Committee Member (just a Merit Badge Counselor will not count).

This will be a great canoe trip.  We will be paddling on Village Creek and camping on a sandbar.  The Scouts will paddle about 10 miles in total between Saturday and Sunday.  This will fulfill requirement 9b4 for Camping Merit Badge.

The basic plan is that we will camp at Village Creek State Park in the group camping area on Friday night.  We will get up early and pack up quickly on Saturday morning and meet the outfitter for departure.  We will park the cars at an appropriate place and get started as soon as we have all the cars staged.  We will paddle to a sand bar where we will camp.  On Sunday morning, we will get up early, pack up, and canoe to the takeout point.  After gathering our gear and stowing canoes, we will head back to Plano.

One of the best places to go tubing anywhere in the United States is the Guadalupe River in Canyon Lake, Texas.  A section of this river that is heavily tubed is called the Horseshoe.  The beauty of this section of river is that when you get done, you can just walk a few blocks and start over again.
