What is the Texas Brigades?
The Texas Brigades is a wildlife-focused leadership development program for high school youth (ages 13-17). There are five
different camps: Bobwhite Brigade, Buckskin Brigade, Bass Brigade, Waterfowl Brigade, and Ranch Brigade. You will be introduced to habitat management, hone your communication skills, and develop a land ethic. Top wildlife professionals and resource managers
serve as instructors and mentors.
Each camp is 4 ½ days long.
The success of the Texas Brigades depends on both highly motivated youth (ages 13-17) and adult participants with a desire to further their wildlife knowledge
and leadership skills.

The Cadet Experience
Each camp is unique, but you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about deer, quail, bass, waterfowl, or sustainable beef production! You will study anatomy,
biology, habitat management, population dynamics, conservation, watershed management, and more. In addition to a heaping dose of ecology, you will study photography, art, entomology, botany, fly-tying, firearm safety, and
leadership skills. Every camp is fast-paced and filled with hands-on experiences, a wealth of information, camaraderie, and participation in professionally led management techniques and procedures.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "LEADERSHIP SKILLS"?
Every person, no matter what profession you choose, must be able to think, plan, and communicate to succeed. Many of the activities at the
Texas Brigades revolve around teambuilding and critical thinking.
IS THERE A FEE?
Yes, there is a tuition fee for cadets. The fee is $400, which covers meals, lodging, and supplies. Don't let money stop you from applying!
We will help you find financial assistance.

 We
are looking for highly motivated individuals who are interested in the outdoors, wildlife, and natural resource conservation, who wish to share that interest with young adults.
An adult leader serves as a mentor, counselor, and guide for five or six teenagers (13-17 years of age) as they progress through the
five day camp. As an adult leader, you will participate in all of the activities in which the cadets participate, some of which may be physically demanding. Experience in wildlife, fisheries, and/or animal agriculture is not required.
Immediate family members of youth (cadet) applicants may not be selected as an adult leader for the same camp as their cadet.
Teachers receive 40 hours SBEC credits
