WEEKEND CAMPING
Unit Camping: use the
LCRS reserve specific campsites, facilities, and equipment instantly at each Longhorn Council camp.
NOTE: if campsites, facilities, and equipment do not appear in the LCRS for a given weekend that means they have already been reserved for that weekend.
District Events, Training Events, and Camporees: Submit a paper Weekend Camping Reservation Form to the Camping Registrar. The LCRS may not be used to reserve camps for District and Training events.
Online reservations for unit camping, once submitted, are immediate. Paper reservations (for district and training events), once they are received, must be checked, approved, and entered into the online database by the Camping Registrar before the reservation is complete.
Pack Family Camping: requires one adult certified in BALOO, the Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation, to be present at all times. Camp Rangers cannot allow a Pack to camp without a BALOO certified leader onsite. Rangers cannot give any exceptions to this BSA policy. Packs are NOT required to have a BALOO certified adult present at council family camping events at the camps.
NOTES: At this time, paper reservations may still be used for unit camping requests. On the paper form, units may request a campsite; however, the actual assignment of campsites will be made by the Camping Department. Units using the LCRS online system may reserve specific campsites directly.
