Since mid 1990s the Texas
Brigades have conducted wildlife leadership development camps for young men and
women between 13-17 years of age. Each camp is 4.5 days and uses the biology,
habitat, food chain, quality of environment, conservation and social-economic
issues of a wildlife species as the core curriculum. The mission is to develop
Tomorrow’s Outdoor Leaders Today through training and development of
leadership, communication and presentation skills in a learning environment
promoting self-confidence. The camps are Bob White, Buckskin and Bass Brigades.
Bass Brigade is back this year after a 2 year hiatus. Applications can be
downloaded at the website at www.texasbrigades.org or you can email me for more
information at the address provided. Applications are due 1 April 2008. Bass
Brigade will be held 7-11 July 2008 at the LCRA facilities at Buchanan Dam, Marble Falls, TX.
Selection of cadets is competitive. If you have or know of a teenager with
leadership potential and interest in the outdoors, please make them aware of
this unique personal growth opportunity. The future of fishing is our
responsibility. Texas Brigades is a 501(C)3 organization. Email bassbrigade@earthlink.net for more
information.
