ABOUT: A first for the 7th Trailblazers and OSG, this is an event for Pathfinders and Rovers from around the country, hosted by our group. At this campout we will be hosting a Brownsea Training Camp (BTC) for Rovers seeking to become scout leaders, a Rover Skills Camp for any Rover looking to share skills and spend a weekend of camaraderie with your fellow Rover, and a Bronze Arrow Training (BAT) for Pathfinders looking to move into leadership positions in their patrols. And for all, it’s just going to be a great weekend of scouting!
We will be at Camp Happy Hollow, a 62 acre camp with a Girl Scout heritage dating back to 1956, however all Scout brothers and sisters are welcome.
WHERE: Camp Happy Hollow, outside of Brenham, Texas, 90 minutes outside of Austin
FACILITIES: The camp has full toilet and shower facilities available near the main mess hall, and campgrounds all have electricity available as well as running water. No pets are allowed at Camp Happy Hollow.
CONTACT: Reach out to Mark with any questions you might have!
COST: Suggested payment for the event is $100 for Rovers, $75 for Pathfinders. This covers site and activity fees as well as meals. Rovers who wish to cook all of their own meals may do so, in which case cost will be $20 per family member. If cost of the event makes participation difficult, there are scholarships available to ensure all can participate, contact Mark Novick for details.

There will be vegetarian options available for all meals and all our meals are nut-free, and we can offer gluten-free options if requested in advance.
