    Comments for Camp Tres Ritos

    Merit badge sessions are held in the forest and along trails. The program emphasizes nature and outdoor activities and advancement programs because the site lends itself so well. The program includes camping, cooking, emergency preparedness, first aid, Indian lore, orienteering, pioneering, and wilderness survival. The First Class Emphasis program is also located at Tres Ritos. TR (Tres Ritos) also has archery and shooting ranges for archery, rifle and shotgun shooting.

    Camp Tres Ritos is a semi-primitive camp as each troop cooks for themselves. Along with the backpacking they also offer traditional camp merit badge activities.

    In conjunction with the Tres Ritos Resident Camp, there is a High Adventure Program (Pecos Packers) that includes rock climbing and backbacking in Pecos Wilderness Area. Additional Information and photos can be found at www.pecospackers.com.

    Tres Ritos is not actually scout-owned. We have something like a ninety nine year lease from the forest service.
