Make it a fun family event! Family members are invited to come and enjoy a visit to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, a world-class museum and 90-acre facility that combines visitation and outdoor education with a production fish hatchery. Its mission is to provide an educational, entertaining visitor experience that promotes freshwater sport fishing and the enhancement, conservation, and stewardship of aquatic resources in Texas.

Admission to the Center for family members is separate from Scout admission to the MBU event. However, families choosing to visit the TFFC while their Scout(s) attend the MBU may purchase meal tickets at $10 each and have lunch with their Scout. Meal tickets will be available for purchase on the MBU registration page on the Circle Ten Council website or on site at TFFC. Nearby tent camping is available.

Help Wanted: BSA registered adult merit badge counselors and other support staff are needed. Do you need a Wood Badge ticket or OA service hours? Contact Event Chair at Chip.Perryman@gmail.com
