Camping

Camping is the traditional cornerstone of the Scouting program. The Alamo Area Council offers a number of camping opportunities to meet the needs of all ages. The Council owns two camping facilities: Bear Creek Scout Reservation and McGimsey Scout Park. Camp fun includes swimming, boating, crafts, nature, BB guns, rifles and archery. These things all happen along with sleeping under the stars.

The camping program is our outdoor lab where scouts become immersed in the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Attendees learn important character building skills such as: self-esteem, self-reliance, teamwork, and leadership.
