Powder Horn 2010 Registration Form
Powder Horn gives participants hands on exposure to many outdoor/high adventure activities. The two-weekend Training is designed to expose Venturing and Boy Scout leaders to a wide range of high adventure activities and resources necessary to operate a successful Troop or Crew High Adventure program.
Scouting leaders often face the dilemma of having a strong desire to provide challenging and fun outdoor adventure programs to meet the needs of their older youth members, while lacking the knowledge and/or resources to do so. Powder Horn responds to this quandary with an exciting new training opportunity that exposes Boy Scout and Venturing adult leaders to a wide range of outdoor/high adventure activities. We provide participants with valuable resources and contacts to assist them in delivering the promise of Scouting high adventure to youth.
During Powder Horn, presentations on high adventure Ranger topics are made by expert consultants who demonstrate the skills required and explain where resources, such as equipment, facilities, guides, instructors, and certifications can be obtained locally. Most presentations involve actual hands-on experience by the participants - you’ll get to sample many of the activities yourself so you will know how much fun your crew or troop will be able to have.
We recruit an all-star staff of high adventure experts, outdoor vendors, and Scouters from all over Texas to guide you through the adventure! For example: the kayaking resource session will be taught on the lake by an Olympic kayaker.
Capitol Area and Longhorn Councils are proud to co-host the 2010 Powder Horn training course, based at Longhorn Council’s beautiful Camp Tahuaya, located near Belton, Texas.
