BEAR CREEK NEEDS YOUR HELP in May 2021

by

Did you have damage from the Winter Storm?  Well, Bear Creek Scout Reservation did, as well.  We need some help cleaning up camp and getting it ready for Summer Camp.

WHAT: Bear Creek is temporarily closed to unit rentals until we can get some repairs done at the camp to be able to operate it safely.  We are scheduling a work day on May 22 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm to complete some service projects to clean up campsites, trails, and damaged areas while helping to get camp set up for summer camp.

WHO: we are looking for individuals and units to volunteer to help us.  Volunteers need to be 11 years of age or older.  If anyone has special skills that can be of help please let us know inside the registration so we can plan our teams accordingly (plumbing, electricians, landscaping, painting, etc).

May 21-23, service from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday. Current plans are to continue to clean and stack fallen brush, paint and stain, put up summer camp tents, etc. So, what about camping you ask? Units are invited to camp this whole weekend for FREE – that’s right, if you participate in the work day, you camp all weekend at NO charge! Come up to camp Friday evening (May 21) and depart Sunday morning (May 23)! REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND MAY 21-23

Participants must provide your own meals, but on Saturday evening the Bear Creek Campmasters will provide a cracker barrel snack/dessert. Questions? Email Adventure@AlamoAreaBSA.org

Bear Creek Scouts BSA – Summer Camp 2021

by

Did you miss summer camp this year?  Really looking forward to getting back out there in 2021?

Register now to attend Bear Creek Scouts BSA Summer Camp 2021.

Since 1957, Bear Creek Scout Reservation has been a summer home to thousands of Scouts. Providing unforgettable camping memories, Bear Creek has afforded many boys their first opportunity to experience self-reliance in a beautiful natural setting in the Texas Hill Country.

The Ranger Program is designed for first-year campers, teaching basic skills, while allowing the camper to get off and running on the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks.

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.

Older Scout Program: Bear Creek is famous for offering challenging programs for older Scouts. The C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) 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.
