Also, what are the elevated boxes between tents for? The light colored tents are owned by the troop and they have two scouts percent. With Covid if Scout wants to tent by himself he supplies his own tent. The boxes are patrol chuck boxes for cooking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted May 31, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 31, 2021 Glamping? I think not. You cannot possibly call it glamping unless you have Air Conditioning, a memory foam mattress, a blackstone griddle with unlimited bacon and some sort of LED lights hung in the trees. Although I might make an exception for the Costa Rica set up. That looks amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find having your camping experienced catered and staffed is pretty essential the glamping lifestyle. The other stuff, beyond the bacon, is just for the gals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zephyr Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #17 Posted May 31, 2021 For us, glamping is when the portages are short enough to allow us to bring camp chairs so we dont have to sit on the ground 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share #19 Posted May 31, 2021 A couple of patrols performing a conservation project helping restore part of a wagon train trail that was used to supply a frontier fort on the Goodnight Loving Trail that happens to cross the ranch we were camping on. This qualified them for the BSA Historic Trail Award. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted May 31, 2021 Share #20 Posted May 31, 2021 Not causing trouble, and not making this religious. It's about me. I was a cub scout for a while, then when I moved to the burbs, I joined the boy scouts. I am not a religious person. After a few months, I was told it was required I go to church each weekend. They assigned me to go with another scout. I quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share #21 Posted May 31, 2021 We awoke to pouring rain. Boys broke camp in the rain. Here is the ranch road a few hours after we departed. Water over the top strand of a 5 wire barbed wire fence. The Scouts formed up and sang the Troop song to Mr. Raney, our former Scoutmaster and owner of the historic ranch that dates back to the 1800s, in the rain. Troop 1001 Song We sing this song with pride and energy. Words in bold are yelled with spirit. We are the boys from 1001, hey! We're always on the run, hey! Camporee caravans, round ups too, We are the boys of the Canyon Creek crew. You'll never hear us gripe or complain, hey! We love to camp in sun, wind or rain, hey! We're from Richardson, dear old Richardson! We are from 1001! (who?) 1001! (where?) 1001! OH...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This qualified them for the BSA Historic Trail Award. Edit: This was not on the Goodnight Loving Trail. The line of forts that this road served allowed settlers protection from the Comanche that we basically stole the land from. There was a string of US Army Forts and the cattle would most likely have been driven to Fort Worth and then on the Chisholm Trail north to Kansas https://texasalmanac.com/topics/history/frontier-forts-texas https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/chisholm-trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
