Texas Skies

The Troop Fair is an opportunity for Arrow of Light Scouts to meet with troops, crews, and ships in the district. All 4^th and 5^th-grade Scouts, Scouts BSA youth (ages 10-17) and their parents are invited to the Texas Skies Troop Fair. 

Arrow of Light Scouts must make a decision that will impact their Scouting career: the choice of which troop to join. They are then encouraged to visit several different troop meetings before selecting a troop to join. A list of troops in our area and their typical meeting night and location is available.
