Trail to First Class
 

June 28 - July 4, 2026
D-Bar-A Scout Ranch, Jack Lord Sub-Camp
Fee: $430
 

Welcome! Are you a new Scout? Part of a newly formed troop? Did your troop recently welcome a large group of new Scouts? Is a Scout looking for help advancing through the ranks or just hoping for a fun, action-packed week of learning, friendship, and adventure?

If so, Trail to First Class (TT1) is the program for you!

TT1 is designed specifically to support new Scouts, troops with recent growth, and Scouts who may need extra help with advancement. This week-long program focuses on helping Scouts progress toward First Class rank, but it’s so much more than advancement.

Along the way, Scouts will have opportunities to earn additional Scouting awards and receive an introduction to Merit Badges, helping prepare them for their journey on the Trail to Eagle.

TT1 is led by some of the best Scouting volunteers, each bringing years of experience and a passion for helping Scouts succeed.

Every Scout will follow a personalized schedule based on their individual advancement needs. Additional awards and activities will be worked in based on each Scout’s goals and interests.

And the fun doesn’t stop when the day ends! Evening activities will include Ga-Ga Ball, our own version of War Canoes, campfire programs, and many more exciting events to be announced.

Join us for a week of growth, adventure, and unforgettable Scouting experiences!
