An outstanding adventure awaits you and your Scouts. We hope that your unit will have an outstanding time while you are at the ranch. The Sam Houston Area Council is committed to do everything it can to make your units’ summer camp a most memorable Scouting experience for your youth and adult participants. It is our goal to make El Rancho Cima one of the premier Boy Scout camping facilities in the country. All the changes that you will witness to are a direct result of the feedback from the 2016 summer camp evaluations, including the introduction of the Kandle premiere camping dining experience. In addition to the changes at camp, we have made some changes in the Leader’s Guide Book, so please take time to share its contents with your Scouts and adults. The Leader’s Guide Book has been prepared for the purpose of providing important information to insure that your troop has both an enjoyable and productive summer camp experience. Hopefully, it will assist both the “experienced” and new leaders in preparing for camp at El Rancho Cima. Please encourage your Scouts and adults to download the Leader’s Guide form www.shac.org/summer-camp. In you find yourself with an unanswered question, please do not hesitate to contact Program Services at the Cockrell Scout Center. You may send a detailed email message to [email protected] and he will be happy to assist. Thank you for choosing the Sam Houston Area Council summer camp at El Rancho Cima. Yours in Scouting, Steve Oldham Council Camping Committee Chairman 2 EL RANCHO CIMA EL RANCHO CIMA is located on the Devil’s Backbone in the Beautiful Texas Hill Country near Wimberley, TX. The property was purchased in 1953. It is home to: Walter Scout Camp at Horseshoe Bend Hamman High Adventure Base at Iron Wheel Mesa El Rancho Cima is just 15 miles west of San Marcos consisting of 2,680 acres of mountainous terrain covered under an umbrella of cedars and hardwoods. Troops can enjoy shooting sports, horseback riding, backpacking, outdoor skills training, a number of boating adventures other experiences on the Blanco River, three climbing towers with the 40+ hear of horses, the Walter Family Shooting Sports facility and a new equestrian center.

Attendees have had trouble deciding which they think has been the best, as every one of them has been fabulous. Each speaker has so generously and thoroughly shared their knowledge, their methodologies, and their passion for Dressage each year. Attendees walk away amazed and in awe of what all they have just experienced and learned at these 2-day ADU Dressage educational Seminars. Weather was an unexpected issue this January 10-11, 2015 weekend, as “sunny warm Texas” was anything but. A severe Arctic cold front, complete with freezing rain, snow, and ice, descended upon Texas on Friday afternoon. It started hitting the northern parts of our USDF Region 9 a couple of days earlier.

  • Guide to Council Camps National Parks California
    GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.

WILSON Approved by: Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky Committee: Derrick McKisick William Kuracina Head of Department: William Kuracina Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2016 William C. Wilson iv ABSTRACT CAMPING APART: A CASE STUDY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN BOY SCOUTS IN NORTHEAST TEXAS William C. Wilson, MEd, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2016 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky, PhD The Boy Scouts of America, a Progressive organization, intended to train young men for leadership roles, organized in 1910 and within two years, excluded African American men and boys from joining the youth organization in the South due to legal racial segregation or Jim Crow laws. By the 1930s, the BSA opened membership to African Americans but only according to the local council’s discretion, which the region’s local school segregation plans often determined. In Texas, the NeTseO Trails Council of Paris, Texas, maintained segregation until 1970. African American scoutmasters led segregated troops, which African American donations funded. In the 1960s, scouting in these cities remained segregated, then legal desegregation via an official non-discrimination policy ended de jure segregation in scouting. Yet rather than integrate with white troops, many African Americans abandoned the organization.
