~Scouting America~ Troops 806 & 1806
Troop 806, chartered by the Brotherhood of Congregation Beth Israel in Houston, Texas, has been a cornerstone of the local Scouting community since 1980. Troop 1806, also chartered by the Brotherhood of Congregation Beth Israel in Houston, was established in 2019 to provide Scouting opportunities for girls. Troops 806 and 1806 are grounded in Jewish values and support Jewish practices, making them the only such troops in Texas. However, we value scouts of all backgrounds, and non-Jewish members are warmly welcomed.
As youth-led troop, we emphasize leadership development, outdoor skills, and community service. The troops meets weekly on Tuesday evenings and organizes monthly camping trips, providing Scouts with hands-on experiences in nature and teamwork.
