The new school calendar may not be your favorite act to come out of Austin but it has had one good consequence for Troop 1001. Because Memorial Day comes before the end of the school year, we are able to schedule a big, fun camping trip over the long weekend. It's such a big deal that now is the time to put it on your calendar and make your reservation. So read on about this exciting opportunity.

The Memorial day weekend trip to Galveston is rapidly approaching. This will be the biggest and the best trip of the year! The date for departure from TBC via Lone Star Coaches bus is 6:00 PM Friday, May 23rd. We will travel direct to Galveston State Park and stay in screened in shelters on the bay side of Galveston Island. We will spend Saturday on Galveston Island's West Beach. The park has bathrooms, showers and electricity next to our shelters.

Sunday morning we will depart for NASA for an afternoon of fun at Space Center Houston. Sunday afternoon we depart to the Battleship Texas for an overnight stay on the actual battleship that served in World War II. We will get a VIP tour and see a movie about the history of the ship. The ship has air conditioned bunks for 50 people. The ship provides breakfast before we depart from the adjacent San Jacinto Battlefield. Monday is Memorial Day and we will be in the spot where Texas won it"s independence from Mexico. How cool is that?

We should arrive back at Trinity Bible Church by 6:00 PM on Monday.

The cost for the three day all inclusive bus trip, lodging, and food is only $100.00 per person. Spaces are limited to the first 50 people who sign up, so make your payment and reservation early to assure you have a spot.
