9/21/2023 - Bee Cave Rocket Day Delayed to Dec. 2nd!!!
Why: Unfortunately the Travis County burn ban has been extended to October 18th 2023. This means we are postponing Bee Cave District Rocket Day to Dec. 2nd. So mark your calendars!!!
Alternative while you're waiting: As an alternative the Bee Caves District is suggesting your scout attend Cub Eclipse over the Pines: A Galactic Event at Tom Wooten in Bastrop https://scoutingevent.com/564-67852

4/4/23 - IOLS at Camporee!
The Bee Cave District is happy to announce that it will offer IOLS (Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills) to a maximum of 20 adult attendees of its Bee Cave District Camporee on April 28-30, 2023, at Smilin' V Ranch. This course is necessary to become fully trained as either a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster to serve your units. Topics covered will include outdoor skills for camping, cooking, packing, hiking, woods tools, knots, lashings, flag ceremonies, and interfaith service. The course will begin at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 29, and continue through approximately 11:00 am on Sunday, April 30. Participants should come prepared for an overnight stay. You will be camping separately from your units and will be unavailable the entire time to the rest of your unit team. You must attend the entire course to receive credit. You may review the course topics in advance here: https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/3364018OLskills_Aug.pdf
