Our troop has been there the last two years and will go again this year.

The LCRA / Lost Pines Scout Reservation (LPSR) is located on Lake Bastrop and is leased from the Lower Colorado River Authority. The Lost Pines as there is an island of pine trees, separated from other East Texas pines by a hundred miles or so.

We've been the last 3 years and are going again in 2000--a great program.
