Worth Ranch, commonly abbreviated to WR, is a ranch located in Palo Pinto, Texas (roughly 60 miles west of Fort Worth). It is owned and operated by the Longhorn Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).[1] It is approximately 750 acres in size.

Worth Ranch is used primarily as a Scout reservation and camping ground. Year round scout units can camp at Worth Ranch, while during the summer, Worth is known for its summer camp operations, The Big Adventure.[2] Worth Ranch is also commonly known for being the origin of the Wilderness Grace.[3]

The ranch hosts an annual aquatic school.[4] Scouts have attended it since 1944,[5] though the current school was not officially started until 1954.[4]
