Bovay Scout Ranch
Jewish (and non-Jewish) Scouts and their families, are invited to attend a weekend of fun activities combining Scouting skills with Judaism while enjoying delicious (Kosher) meals. The Houston Jewish Committee on Scouting sponsors the Houston area Jewish Scout retreat known as Kinus (Hebrew for “gathering”).
The theme this year is “Kinus Goes Green” with activities focused on how Jews can make an impact in saving our earth, as well as helping Scouts complete requirements towards the Sustainability Merit Badge.
Kosher food will be served and an eruv will be built for shomer shabbat families.
