Boy Scout Year Round Outdoor Programs

At Gerald I. Lawhorn Scouting Base there is a program for every Scout group, for any weekend or longer of the year. You can find an activity that will present an exciting program already built for you, or build a program that will fit exactly what your Scouts are looking for with the help of our rangers and staff.

We also have many year round programs designed just for Cub Scouts and their families and we can help you find the program that will supply a great outdoor adventure for your pack.
