The Tripoli Rocketry Association is made up of "Prefectures". These are local groups geographically, that organizes meetings, events and launches for the benefits of their members and those from other prefectures.

A Prefecture is a self-governing group of rocketry enthusiasts in a specific area of the country. This may be a club, a society, or just a group. There must be at least three people to be designated a Prefecture, and the Prefecture shall support by membership, and uphold by actions, the goals and future of the Tripoli Rocketry Association, Inc. Its activities will not be controlled by the National Association except in the compliance of the Association's Safety Code.

As everyone knows it is a lot more enjoyable to fly with a group of friends, than to Lone Ranger it on your own. Prefectures are a way to expand one's assets and abilities. Yes, we all have friends who can do things for each other, but with a unified group it makes one's involvement with others more personal and satisfying. If you already have a group or club, or wish to form one dedicated to Advanced Rocketry, contact Tripoli headquarters today. The Tripoli Rocketry Association will be happy to supply you with a list of Tripoli members in your area.

Tripoli has seen significant growth. This is due in part to the growth in the number of Prefectures. A Prefecture is a club or group of Tripoli members that serves a given geographic area.
