Camps and Classes

Caddo Sheriff's Camp

Caddo Sheriff's Camp, an overnight camp for boys ages 9-12, will be held at Garland Scout Ranch in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America, Norwela Council. The camp recognizes boys from Caddo Parish for good behavior and academic achievement and introduces them to the scouting program.

The purpose of the camp is to develop leadership skills and encourage involvement in scouting by introducing campers to outdoor activities like swimming, archery, and marksmanship.

Transportation to and from camp is provided, and funding is made possible through citizen donations. Applications can be obtained from the Boy Scout office by calling 868-2774.

Distracted and Impaired Driving Program

Brochure Hold Harmless (Adult) Hold Harmless (Minor)

This program is designed to bring awareness to young drivers of the dangers associated with operating a motor vehicle and what they can do to be safe behind the wheel. Participants must have a valid driver's license or valid learner's permit.

The course includes several hands-on activities that focus on distraction and impairment. The primary component involves participants operating a street-legal, electric car through an obstacle course under four separate conditions: with no impairments or distractions; while texting the "Pledge of Allegiance;" while wearing goggles that simulate being intoxicated; and while wearing goggles that simulate being under the influence of narcotics. It's fun and informative.
