In addition to our Pack 505 events, membership in Scouting provides many opportunities for our Scouts. These events are not hosted by Pack 505.
Houston Gem and Mineral Society Show

The HGMS teaches general geology and basic rock types, properties of minerals and fossils, the economic uses of minerals, types of geoscience careers and requirements to enter this profession, and we start the Scout on acquiring his mineral/fossil collection (the remainder can easily be obtained at the show).
Our Arrow of Lights Scouts can work on their Earth Rocks! adventure here.
