Welcome to the Sacred Springs District
Cub Scout Summer Camp at Cub World!
Cub Scout Summer Camp at Capital Area Council’s Cub World in Bastrop, Texas is fast approaching! Come enjoy 3 days and 2 nights with us under the Texas sky. You and your Scout will enjoy many activities that will allow you to create memories that will last a lifetime while working together on many achievements, electives, belt loops, and activity badges!
Enjoy the cool, clear water of the "Watering Hole", our incredible camp pool, equipped with a waterfall and two slides for Swimmers to enjoy. Join us “Deep in the Heart of Texas” for a good time, including branding, Cowboys vs. Indians capture the flag, a Texas Rodeo, and a visit to “The Alamo” to learn to shoot like Davy Crockett. Learn a little about Texas history down at Tonkawa Lodge while making your very own Native American craft, hunt for buffalo while earning your Archery Belt Loop and Pin, and make a cowboy belt buckle at Leatherwork. Webelos have a special opportunity to earn three Activity Badge Pins; Aquanaut, Readyman, and Showman. In addition each scout will get to choose two extra belt loops to earn while at camp. These include Baseball, Fishing, Flag Football, Art, Map & Compass, and even Photography!

Scouting's Journey to Excellence
“Scouting’s Journey to Excellence” is the BSA’s new council performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of our units, districts, and councils. It is replacing the Centennial Quality Awards Program as a means of encouraging excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.
The Journey to Excellence program is available at all levels of Scouting, from the Pack to the Council. Complete information on the program is available on the Capital Area Council website or by clicking here.
