Campout at risk! We need 3 more attendees (including at least 1-2 adults) to help pull off this event. Registration will close THIS MONDAY. 

Good Evening Troop 1001!

We are weeks away from October Cottonwood, and we need all hands on deck at this critical event.

Because Cottonwood is an adult-primary event (governed by our annual contract with the City of Richardson), we rely heavily on adult volunteers. We ran short on help in the spring, so please make volunteering a priority this fall to ensure a successful event.

There are STILL Critical roles that we need to fill:

• Friday Artist Load-In: High-priority! If you can take PTO or flex time, please do.
• Friday Night Artist Dinner / Beer Garden
• Saturday & Sunday Adult Scout leader - to sit with the boys
• Sunday Night Load-Out

Ready for an Epic River Adventure? 

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend as Troop 1001 takes on the Colorado River! We’re heading out for a 14-mile canoe camping trip along the scenic Wilbarger route with Bastrop River Co. Whether you're an experienced paddler or brand new to canoe camping, this is the perfect introductory trip to test your skills and explore the water.

The Game Plan:

• Friday Night: Kick off the weekend with campsite setup and relaxation at Bastrop State Park.

• Saturday (8 Miles): Catch a quick 20-minute shuttle to the put-in point and spend the day paddling down the Colorado River before setting up camp along the banks.

• Sunday (6 Miles): Enjoy a morning paddle right back into Bastrop to wrap up our river trek.

Merit Badges: Working on your Camping or Canoeing merit badges? Review the requirements beforehand, touch base with your Merit Badge Counselor, and bring any required gear or workbooks with you and we'll see what we can get done!

Cost & Registration Details:

• Cost: $75 per Scout (covers canoe rentals and campsite fees). Adults attend for FREE!

• Cap: Limited to the first 32 participants due to canoe availability. Once spots fill, a waitlist will open.

Spots are strictly first-come, first-served—don't miss out! Check out the route details at Bastrop River Co. and secure your spot today.

YOUR Scout deserves TRAINED LEADERS.
