March 2024 Canoeing and Northern Tier Shakedown Campout
This weekend will be a lot of fun for everyone! We will be spending the day canoeing on Lake Texoma and honing our paddling skills. For those going to Northern Tier this weekend we will be practicing our paddling techniques and our portaging. This is the perfect opportunity to test your canoeing skills as well as learn some things in the process. We will have a short class on the parts of the canoes as well as go over the strokes needed.
February Caprock Canyon Campout
We are traveling North West to Caprock Canyon. There is a large herd of free-range buffalo and more hiking than we can do in a weekend. We haven’t been here in a couple of years and it will not disappoint no matter what we do! There is a bat cave, natural arch, slot canyons and some amazing views. We will camp the entire weekend at Caprock Canyon. The address for the camp is 850 Caprock Canyon Park Road, Quitaque, TX 79255 We will be staying at the LK009, LK008, LK007, and LK006 Campsites.
Winter Camp Campout
Troop 1776 has a proud tradition of offering high quality merit badge classes and counseling at its annual Winter Camp. This year we will offer 20 merit badges. We will do four merit badge classes with four options during each session on Saturday and Sunday. Scouts sleep in cabins and adults do the cooking. Scouts may bring video games/tvs for this campout as well as cards/boardgames for their free time.
Ice cream continues for movie night this year!
