NOTE: The above map links direct you to get to camp from Liberty Hill primarily using RR 1869.

Please use this route, noting the following:

  • After leaving Liberty Hill on RR 1869 continue about 6 miles until you see the blue Smilin V Ranch sign, and turn left on CR 285. Then follow the remaining blue Smilin V signs until you see camp on your right.
  • This is the second intersection with CR 285. DO NOT TURN AT THE FIRST CR 285 INTERSECTION. This route is quicker, safer and more respectful to our neighbors.

There will be additional communication regarding planning for a Saturday Dinner potluck (all other meals will be with the den or family), a rough schedule of events, and recommended camping gear / packing list, but I wanted to get the event on everyone’s calendar and get started with the required paperwork. Again, if these forms are not provided, you will not be allowed to camp.

CAMP SCHEDULE

  • Our reservation is from Friday evening to Sunday morning.  Scouts may come and go with their family as needed.
  • Registration Forms will be available soon.

BE PREPARED for Camp!

  • Please download this PDF Medical Form and fill out for each member of your family that is expected to attend the campout.  The Pack is required to have a printed copy on site.  Make sure your printed copies have been turned in to Phil.

Welcome

Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 165 in Round Rock, TX.

Cub Scouting is a year-round family program designed for boys and girls who are about 5 to 10 years old. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. In Cub Scouting you’ll have lots of fun, adventure, and activities with your den and pack. But there’s more to it than that. Being a Cub Scout means you are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. Cub Scouting is more than something to do. It’s all about the boy or girl you are and the person you will become.

Pack 165 is a part of the Chisholm Trail District in the Capital Area Council, chartered by Round Rock Presbyterian Church.  We hold our Pack meetings at Old Town Elementary School.

For more information on joining Pack 165 please contact us.
