May Campout – Box Boat Races

Lake Ray Roberts, Johnson Branch
May 16-17, 2025

BOX BOAT RACES!

Troop 1000 will be heading to Lake Ray Roberts, Johnson Branch, for an on the-the-water experience.
Participants will get a large cardboard box and a lot of duct tape to try to make a lakeworthy vessel.
Patrols have to work together to keep as much water out as possible, traverse a set distance, and keep their vessel above water to win the race. If your boat can make a lap, see if you can add a passenger until it’s a soggy mess.

Leave No Trace demands we pack it in and pack it out. No trash or debris will be left behind.

This is a ONE NIGHT campout due to finals week and Volunteers needed for WARFA training on May 18th.
