What do you need to know about the premier camp of the Alamo Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America?
Our Ranger Program is designed for first year campers and teaches basic skills while allowing the camper to get off and running on the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks.
Our offered Merit Badges cover aquatics, ecology, field sports, handicrafts, and Scout skills. Some preparation is recommended and best done before camp to ensure the ability to complete certain merit badges.
Bear Creek is famous for challenging programs for older Scouts. The C.O.P.E. course is a well-rounded, fun program with low and high element activities (confidence building and group dynamic team challenges). Also available are mountain biking, rappelling, rock climbing, black powder rifle and canoeing on the Guadalupe River. An additional fee will be charged for some of these programs.
Our goal is to make your visit an educational and memorable experience your troop will never forget.

Every April, downtown San Antonio becomes the site of a citywide celebration – the Battle of Flowers® Parade. Since 1891, the women volunteer members of the Battle of Flowers® Association have produced a parade to honor the fallen heroes of the Alamo and to commemorate the victory at the battle of San Jacinto.
