This workshop is open to Cub Scouts and complements the Texas Badge curriculum. Scouts will tour the 1823 Old Place and learn about Texas pioneers’ laborious lifestyle and jump forward in time to the 1905 Staiti House and appreciate innovation. Scouts and parents will also enjoy learning about 92 years of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and get an understanding of preserving cowboy and cowgirl skillsets and culture that defines our great state. Snacks and a drink are included.

All Badge objectives will be met - State Symbols, State History, and State Culture.
