Boy Scouts of America® Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch

Cavalcade

Experience the most of our Ranch with this back country adventure!

Riders travel each day down scenic rugged trails, through rocky canyons, up and across rhyolitic mountains while frequenting a number of notable landmarks, vistas and spring-fed swimming holes as they travel to each night's encampment. Expect a full day in the saddle while on our mountain trained horses or sure-footed mules. Cavalcade covers close to 30 miles of trail!

Each Cavalcade is guided by 2 of our experienced Wranglers. Cavalcade can take up to 8 participants at a time. 2 adults minimum and 1 of them must be Wilderness First Aid Certified. All riders must way less than 225 lbs dressed to ride. Horseback riding experience is a must. At least equivalent to the horsemanship Merit Badge.

If you are interested in any dates that are not listed please contact the Buffalo Trail Council office at 432-570-7601.

We have added a new 2026 BTSR Leader's Guide Update. It has been updated with the newest information. The State of Texas Legislature passed new legislation concerning Youth Camps in September of 2025. As part that new legislation, a link to the Department of State Health Services Youth Camps website for campers, parents, and camp staff and volunteers to use to report the camps’s noncompliance with this chapter must be on our website. The link is also below.
