SCARR 2024 Overview
SCARR is an organized, off-road event geared towards Land Rover
enthusiasts. It begins at Noon on Thursday, April 11th, and wraps up Sunday
the 14th. Our event attracts people from all parts of the country and globe
who love to experience the off-road capabilities of their Land Rovers in
the great outdoors. Each year, SCARR attendees forge lifelong memories with
friends, family, and sponsors. Join us this year as we celebrate the
20th Anniversary of SCARR!
This year's event will differ from years past as the club is not reserving
Barnwell Mountain. There will not be a registration fee, but we still ask
that all attendees register so that we can get a headcount. All registered
attendees will be given one raffle ticket for a raffle prize which will be
virtually hosted at the event on Saturday the 10th.
Activities abound at SCARR! Each year we host activities including guided
trail runs, lectures, off-road training, and more. There truly is
something for everyone at SCARR!
The event schedule and additional information will be provided at later date.
SCARR 2024 T-shirts can be purchased for $15 at the time of registration.
You must order and pre-pay for your shirt(s) as additional shirts will not be
offered for sale at the event.
Please email president@texasrovers.org if you have
any questions about SCARR.
