cubbingcarol Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Too bad we didn't know about this sooner. But we will make plans to attend next year, it sounds so cool. It will be a long drive for us (7-8 hours) but it looks to be well worth it. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for the info! Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraMO Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 As always, the Texas Expo is a lot of fun. You could jokingly call it the Scouting Expo, too, because everywhere you turn you see Cub, Boy & Girl scout uniforms. Lots of various scouting merits to be earned and there are usually some speciality patches, too. A couple of years ago it was the "Spills & Kills" patch where the participants learned about the algae kills in lakes & how to prevent them. This year it was the Wilderness Adventure patch wherein the participants had to visit 10 out of 14 stations and at least 6 of those were various shooting sports (air gun, black powder, archery, crossbow, rifle, skeet). Of course, everyone must attend the shooting sport orientation prior to being admitted to any of the shooting ranges. It is HIGHLY advisable to take the shuttle bus and arrive EARLY!!! Wear good walking shoes & carry a water bottle. The Expo is fun for all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
