Scouting – Texas Style

The Polar Bear Campout at Cub World is scheduled for Saturday Jan 28,
starting at 1:00 pm and concluding Sunday Jan 29th 11am.
The WHOLE family is welcome. Cub World is a fabulous BSA property
adjacent to Lost Pines on Lake Bastrop. 1 night only. No Friday night
option. We have the Archery range reserved for one of our activities.
If the weather drop below freezing, your Scout will earn the coveted
Polar Bear patch.

Basics

Every family attending must RSVP using the link above. Families need to
provide their own lunch for Saturday. The Pack will provide dinner
Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. The opening ceremony will start at
approximately 1:00 pm. Arrive at least 2 hours early to check in and
set up your tent. You may arrive as early as 9am on Saturday. We’ll all
eat dinner together as a Pack Saturday evening and have campfire

hike before we head home.
