Zastro is located next to the Rayado river. There are plenty of activities to keep your crew busy if you are staying the night. Any crew passing through can participate in the land navigation course. If you are staying the night, and there is not a fire ban, make sure you don’t miss the evening dutch oven cobbler. Your crew will send representatives to create your own. Later in the evening, make sure you go to the Scouting Re-Dedication ceremony. It is a great opportunity to remind yourself what the scouting movement is about. The last program is great for anyone who isn’t exhausted after a long day on the trial. The staff will roll out a telescope and teach you about astronomy until you are bored, tired, or both. As it is located right next to Zastro Turnaround, many treks pass through the camp.
