Caving Campout

Posted on Oct 16 2025 - 2:13pm

Message:

The November campout is November 14-16 at Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown!
Hidden for over 10,000 years, Inner Space Cavern is one of the best-preserved caves in Texas. It was discovered by a Texas Highway Department core drilling team in the spring of 1963 and was opened to the public in the summer of 1966. Since that time, hundreds of thousands of visitors have seen this beautiful cave.

The amazing cave has beautiful formations, large rooms, prehistoric animal bones, and a truly unique discovery story. It remains a constant 72 degrees (but feels like 80 degrees with the humidity) year-round and it does NOT flood during rains.
Inner Space offers 2 different tours, and the Geology merit badge.

The Geology merit badge class will be conducted before the tours at 10:00AM for 2.5 hours and is $20. If a scout is interested in this merit badge, please notate in the Notes section of the RSVP. There is a 5-scout minimum for the Geology merit badge class.
The standard tour is the Hidden Passage tour. It is open to scouts of all ages, and the campout fee includes this tour option.
For more adventurous scouts age 13+, the Wild Cave tour involves crawling, climbing, and squeezing through small areas. This tour option has a $40 surcharge, interested scouts should notate this tour in the Notes section of the RSVP.

We will close reservations for this campout on November 3 to provide headcounts to Inner Space. Please register early.
Campout Cost $60 per person. Wild Cave adds an additional $40 per person. Geology merit badge adds $20 per person. Please indicate in the RSVP Notes if you will be doing any of the extra cost programs.

Trifon W. Eagle Scout Project

Posted on Oct 14 2025 - 8:02am

Message:

Trifon is working on his Eagle Project this weekend Friday Oct. 17th, Saturday Oct. 18th, and the flowing weekend Friday Oct. 24th and Saturday Oct. 25th. He needs as much help as he can get. Please log in to the Troop website to see to the sign up on the link below.

Project Description:

We will create an outdoor space for Saint John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Euless Texas. The outdoor space will be for those wanting to spend time outside after Divine Liturgy. The space will consist of 12x12x1.5 in pavers with a .5 inches of gravel filling in between each one in the ground. We will also be tidying up the area by picking up trash and putting any of the Church’s belongings in their respective storage area. The pavers will be directly outside the door after the concrete slab and will go 35 feet along the building. The pavers will be put in by first digging the area 4-inches deep and putting 3 inches of paver base then 1 inch of paver sand. We will then put the pavers on top and space each of them by roughly .5 inches. The gap will then be filled with gravel then we will spray gravel glue on the gravel in the middle to keep the gravel in place.

The following tools an supplies are requested, Lawn Leveling Rake, Wheelbarrow, Garden hoe, Flat Shovel, Pointed Shovel and work gloves. Wear a scout activity tee shirt and sturdy footwear.
