Attendees are asked to dress in Western attire and bring Texas-style foods such as tortilla chips. The troop is also sponsoring an art contest to decorate the hall, with the winner to be announced during the event. Scouts are also asked to bring a donation for shelter animals, such as cat food, dog food, old or new blankets, towels, toys, or mats.
