April Campout to Longhorn Caverns
How do you combine the best of both worlds where you can boulder and go caving at the same time! Longhorn Caverns Wild Cave tour is where its at! We will be dawning helmets, gloves, kneed pads and a headlamp and go where most people don’t get to go. We will be crawling up and over and through the caves with an experienced guide. This is the one time where you are allowed to touch the walls in the caverns just don’t play with the cute hanging hamsters… (bats)! This is hands down one of my favorite wild cave tours and you will remember this for a lifetime. The weather is looking beautiful and a great weekend for camping
Adopt a Highway
Scouts,
This is a service opportunity to pick up trash along Los Rios Blvd between E Park Blvd and Parker Rd.
We will meet at the north end of the PESH parking lot at 9:00am on March 29th . It usually takes about an hour, depending on the number of participants.
Donuts are provided! So are trash bags, grabbers, and high visibility vests.
March Campout Palo Duro Canyon State Park
We are going back to the stunning Palo Duro Canyon State Park!
“Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon system in the United States. The canyon is about 120 miles long and 20 miles wide, and is up to 800 feet deep. It extends from Canyon to Silverton. You can see the beautiful colors of the four geologic layers as you descend 500 feet to the floor of the canyon. The canyon began forming a million years ago. But the walls of the canyon tell a much older geologic story – about 250 million years old!”

February Campout
Summer Camp 2025
We are looking at Sending the Troop out to Camp Alexander in the Pikes Peak Council in Colorado this year. This camp has come with high regards from scouters and leaders as being an amazing Scout Camp. If you have ever camped in Texas summers then you can understand the plight of our scouts to head out of state for camp. Being above 8k feet brings cooler weather and picturesque camping opportunity
Congratulations to another Eagle Scout
Congratulations to our latest Eagle Scout, Hrishikesh Harish, his Eagle Project was constructing a screening privacy fence for the Dallas Tennis Education Academy (DTEA).
Winter Camp

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!
