UPDATE: At this time, we have filled 3 crews (24 campers!) and do not have any available spots.  I am maintaining a wait list though, and if there is sufficient interest we have the ability to add another crew, so please let me know if you're interested in diving with us.

Troop 1001 will be doing the Sea Base Scuba Adventure over spring break of 2019, March 10-17.  This coincides with the confirmed spring breaks for both Richardson and Plano ISDs.  Campers should plan on leaving the morning of Saturday March 9, 2019 and not returning until late Sunday, March 17.
