 73rd Annual Scout Fair 2010
Saturday, April 24, 2010
Reliant Arena 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Welcome to the 2010 "An Adventure of a Lifetime" Scout Fair. I'm privileged to return as General Chairman for Scout Fair 2010. As we celebrate 100 years in Scouting, I'm excited that you and your Scouts will be joining thousands of other Scouts and adult leader to make the Scout Fair the best ever. It is our goal to get every unit involved with this year's Scout Fair and we have a lot of new and exciting changes to encourage participation. Scout Fair not only offers your unit the opportunity to showcase Scouting skills, but the planning and teamwork that go into participating provides your Scouts with many program and learning opportunities.
In addition, Scout Fair is a great way for your unit to raise the necessary funds needed to operate a top quality program through selling Coupon Packs. Thank you for being an integral part of Scout Fair. These guidelines explain the vital points concerning your involvement in the fair. I look forwar to seeing you on Saturday, April 24th at Reliant Arena.
William Carr
Scout Fair General Chairman
