This year, we are going to be heading to Camp Strake in the Sam Houston National Forest, located outside of Coldspring, TX. There is a lot of tree canopy in the forest, given the dense Texas pine and hardwood forest it is located in. Most campsites, trails, and program areas are shaded.

Camp Stake is about 3 1/2 hours from Southlake, so we will be able to make it this year without stopping overnight on the way there.

We will be leaving Southlake on Sunday morning, June 14, 2026, and returning on Saturday afternoon, June 20, 2026, so put it on your calendar now if you are interested in attending.

This camp has been newly built from the ground up and has received excellent reviews from many Scoutmasters we have spoken to. It was literally finished in 2020 and has excellent new facilities.

Camp Stake offers 56 Merit Badges with 8 being Eagle! They have a state-of-the-art aquatics center with a four-lane, Olympic-size swimming pool with water polo, water basketball, and a water climbing tower. They have a 40-foot rock wall climbing tower with a double zip line that traverses the 28-acre lake. 11 miles of trails for walking, biking, and ATVs.

Please signup now if you plan to attend!
