Wolf Mountain Scout Ranch
Near Llano, Texas
Used by: Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Venture crews
Map/Directions
 More than 640 acres of beautiful hill county with granite outcroppings await units that are looking a special High Adventure backpacking and camping experience. If you’re looking for a final “shakedown” before Philmont, but staying close to home, this is the place. Only two units at a time are allowed to reserve the property during weekend camping, to help preserve its special experience. The lucky units that make it out here will enjoy an eight acre private stocked fishing pond, which is also suitable for swimming or boating. There is also a rifle range. While its primary use is weekend camping, Wolf Mountain Scout Ranch has also hosted district camporees, Cub Scout day activities and Webelos Woods programs.
Camping
Packs are advised to camp in the front portion of the property because of convenience and less challenging terrain. Troops will likely enjoy the middle portion of the property because of its steeper elevation, the pond and seclusion from Highway 71. Crews will probably be most attracted to the northwest part of the property because of rock formations that are perfect for climbing activities.
Water is available. There is one toilet facility and six porta-potties. There is an enclosed building with power, and an open-air pavilion.
