Our weekend program also offers all qualifying merit badges, Leave No Trace classes, and conservation project opportunities.
The event happens in the April (Spring Event) and October (Fall Event) at our Lost Pines Scout Reservation in Bastrop. These are both terrific times to be at Lost Pines, as you will likely see plant and wildlife activity you normally wouldn’t during summer camp. Registration includes classes and all supplies, camp fees, meals (Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday breakfast) and a logo padfolio. Please note, lone or provisional Scouts are not allowed to camp at this event.

Come prepared to transport your gear to your campsite. LPSR is a walk-in camp and no vehicles are allowed in campsites. If you must bring a troop trailer, please contact jessica.snider@scouting.org before the event.
Units need to have two deep leadership in the campsite. If the unit has female Scouts, female leader must also be present. Individual Scouts attending with a parent do not have two deep leadership.

Scouts, please arrive to classes on time, be prepared (with pen and paper) and be respective to your instructor and fellow classmate by participating, listening and helping those around you during the class.
Items Scouts need to bring:
Pens and pencils. We will have some to give away and after they are gone, they are gone.
