Welcome
to Bovay Scout Ranch
All
the wonder and beauty of Central Texas rolling hills and lakes is
available at Bovay Scout Ranch, located three miles south of Navasota
on the east side of Highway 6 on County Road 317.
Huisache
and Bois D'arc trees surround many of the campsites and cover the
hills. The entire 1421 acres are a natural paradise for plants and
wildlife. The historic Fahee House at the Walnut Grove dates back
to 1836 as the first structure in Grimes County.
The
camp abounds with marine life, and has several lakes teaming with
bass, crappie, perch, and catfish. Nature study, bugs, animal tracks,
and conservation are vital elements of the camp program. Coyotes
and bobcats are plentiful. The aquatic facilities of George Lake
are among the finest available. The Water Park is the center of
the swimming and fun activities. Rowing, canoeing. and rafting are
enjoyed on George Lake.
The
program is under the supervision of qualified adults, certified
by National Camp School of the Boy Scouts of America. These adults
are assisted by a fully trained staff to give leadership and instruction
to all Scouts. Field Sports, BMX, Archery, and Riflery, are other
activities included in the Bovay program. These programs have something
for both the youngest and oldest Cub Scouts in the Pack. Several
special summer programs have been developed to spice up the regular
Webelos program. Favored are pioneering projects with pine poles,
Indian Lore, rowing, action archery, and rocketry.
A
central air-conditioned dining hall provides hearty meals from a
modern kitchen. Tables are arranged by campsites. Grace and table
manners are as important here as Cub Scouting skills.
