The Sam Houston Trial is a program of Sam Houston Area Council, and is in operation in the Spring of the year on dates approximately those of the Texas Army's journey in 1836. Boy Scouts and Ventures are to observe usual hiking precautions when on the trail. Special care should be taken on those portions of the trail that run along paved roads. All hiking groups must be accompanied by at least two adult leaders for each 10 Scouts throughout their hike. The complete Scout uniform should be worn by all participants while on the trail.
Campsites are to be used only with permission of the owner.
Advance reservations are required for all sites unless otherwise indicated. The keeping of accurate records is the responsibility of the unit. All award applications must be certified by the unit leader. Property rights must be respected. Do not cross fences, disturb livestock, or remove any items from public or private property.
