This September, Troop 140 will kick off the camping season with an high energy trip to Wimberley TX! Scouts will camp at Blue Hole and Zip Line at Wimberley Zip Line.

Blue Hole is famous for its refreshing spring-fed water and legendary swimming area. When Scouts are not swimming and relaxing along the banks, patrols will compete in Iron Chef "Cook-Off Competition” where hardworking ASMs will serve as judges to crown the top campsite chefs. Great food, great swimming, and great memories — this is one campout you will not want to miss!

This camp is limited to 26 Zip Line Participants

This camp is limited to 50 Total participants

This campout will be a truly unique experience for Troop 140! Scouts will travel to New Orleans for a 4-day, 3-night adventure while camping at St. Bernard State Park, only a few miles from the French Quarter. During this trip, Scouts will dive into nearly two centuries of American history and culture, all in one city. At the National WWII Museum, Scouts will discover New Orleans's surprising role in winning the war — home to the shipyard where the Higgins boats that stormed the beaches of Normandy were built. At Chalmette Battlefield, a National Park Ranger will walk Scouts across the very ground where American forces defended New Orleans in the decisive War of 1812 battle that made Andrew Jackson a national hero. And in the French Quarter, Scouts will experience the culture that gave America jazz — brunch at the historic Court of Two Sisters, our very own Second Line parade with a live brass band and police escort, and a walk through streets that witnessed the Louisiana Purchase — capped off with sweet beignets and coffee at Café du Monde.

Along the way, Scouts will have the chance to start or make real progress on up to three merit badges — American Heritage, American Cultures, and Citizenship in the Nation (Eagle Required) — each one tied directly to the history we'll be walking through. Scouts will also earn two hours towards a National Park Service Scout Ranger Program Certificate or Badge.

This camp is limited to 25 participants. Sign up early so you don't miss out!

This camp will be performed in parallel with Troop 442.

Sienna Recreation has invited Scouts from Troop 140 to staff the Sienna Community Campout. Participating Scouts will earn up to 6 hours of community service, and have their meals provided.  

Scouts will support the event by Assisting Families set up their tents, Cooking & Service dinner, Assembling S'more kits for campers, and performing an American Flag retirement ceremony. 

Held during Thanksgiving break, Campsgiving is the turducken of camps, offering a traditional camp experience with a variety of merit badge opportunities, a STEM camp, and a high-adventure camp all in one. Meals are provided by Sam Houston Area Council. Details are updated here: https://shacbsa.org/campsgiving

Trail to Troop is a campout designed to introduce Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts (4th & 5th-graders) to the many outdoor adventures of Scouting. This awesome weekend event includes patrol-method camping and derby-style Scout challenges. On Saturday morning, dens and patrols are challenged in Scout skills (e.g., first aid, fire building, camping skills, games, knots). Dens and patrols are judged on their den flag and yell, resources, leadership, teamwork, skill demonstration, and Scout spirit. Details are updated here:

Get ready for an awesome weekend!

Troop 140 will complete a 4 mile backpacking trek (2 miles in / 2 miles out) at the convenient Brazos Bend State Park. This is the minimum distance required to complete the backpacking requirement of the camping Merit Badge.

Scouts and Adults attending this camp will need approved backpacking gear (which parents may need to purchase) and must be physically capable of handling the demands of the trek. Beginning in 2027, we will discuss the specific gear, packing, and preparation required for the trip.

Along the way, Scouts will have opportunities to filter drinking / cooking water and have plenty of opportunities for trail cooking. Opportunities abound for completing Rank Requirements, Camping, Cooking and Backpacking MB requirements.  

this is intended to be an introduction to backpacking, and any Scout or Adult considering future high-adventure treks such as Philmont or Northern Tier should strongly consider signing up for this camp.

Get ready for an amazing experience!

Summer Camp Destination TBD

Northern Tier is the Scouting America’s gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. In the summer, Scouts from Northern Tier’s three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests and wetlands in Northern Minnesota, Northwest Ontario and Northeast Manitoba. Northern Tier crews paddle in almost 6 million acres of exclusively canoe-access wilderness from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) of Minnesota to the Atikaki Provincial Park of Manitoba. Trips range in length from 6-14 days and usually include between 50-150 miles of wilderness travel.

All participants must be age 14 by the time they arrive at Northern Tier OR have graduated from the 8th grade and be age 13 by the time they arrive.
