Other:
This campout is similar to Summer Camp in that several
troops from around Texas participate and approximately
500 boys are at the camp. Winter camp staff teaches
some merit badges, and there will be a few merit badges
taught by troop 81 adults. A list of available merit
badge classes will be provided at a later date. This
is also a good opportunity for boys participating in
TFC activities, rank advancements and selected other
merit badges to get signoffs on various outdoor
requirements.
The camp also has several outdoor themes such as the
Indian village and Mountain Man areas that demonstrate
many early camping and outdoor skills such as leatherwork,
blacksmithing, etc. A supervised climbing tower and
rifle/shotgun range are located on the camp, and
horseback
riding is also available. Cold weather
conditions are usually present during some or all of the
winter camp duration. Troop 81 adults and scouts will
prepare all food in a family style manner with the cooking
done at the campsite.
Other
T81 Information:
TFC activities will be accomplished on an individual need
basis (bring your scout book).
A large Army tent will be
set up to provide protection for cooking, etc during the week.
T81 adults plan to teach a few merit badge classes in camp.
