Camporee 2018

April 6 to 8 at Pace Bend Park

Camporee 2018 is being planned by the Order of the Arrow's Bee Cave Chapter. Get your troop ready to compete in basic Scout skills, and to spend the weekend enjoying all the outdoor and water activities the wonderful and nearby Pace Bend Park has to offer. Check-in opens the evening of Friday, April 6, and we'll wrap it all up on Sunday morning when the top 4 patrols face off in a head-to-head challenge to see who will claim the honor of this year's theme, "King of the Camp!" The final planning meeting is this Tuesday 4/3 at 8:00 PM via online meeting resources. Check out the District Camporee page for all the details.

Eagle Project That Give True Service

Our schools in the Bee Cave District have benefited from an abundance of Eagle Projects, while neighboring schools within Austin and the Waterloo District - which often have a tremendous need, but very few Scouts - are overlooked. This presents a wonderful opportunity for our youth to honor the highest principles of Scouting, to give back to our community, and see how truly fortunate we truly are. Lisa Rushing of Troop 70, a Special Education Teacher in the Waterloo District, was inspired by her work to create a list of schools within Austin ISD to make it easier for Scouts to find needed service projects.
