Troop News

We had about fifty leaders and Scouts on the trip this weekend, not including all the leaders who attended the Outdoor Leadership Training at Sequoyah also....the weather held sunshine and no rain the entire time.

Thanks to Dr. Frank Nelson, his son Ben Nelson, Bill Benefield and the leaders who assisted on the range, Mr. Presley, on the shotgun target thrower and coaching for shotgun as well Mr. Eggers and all who assisted him with Archery, including Elaine, Mr. Elmore, Mr. Horne, and Mr. Schock, more than a few of the boys earned merit badges for shotgun, rifle, and archery.

We made up and completed all the new Scout preparation requirements for summer camp, and thanks to all the leaders who assisted the patrols, Mr. Fortner, Mr. Simon, Mr. Hutchens, Mr. Schock, along with the older Scout guides, the meals were never better with all the on going activities. Dr. Nelson said we set a new level for the number of shotgun and rifle rounds shot by the Scouts, inclusive of the number of skeet targets they put to use throughout the day.

The leaders attending the Outdoor leader Training, Chris Morrow, William Kok, Stacy Cole, Paul Young, Kyle Horn, Greg Stocks, Nevin Cox, Carl Brownbridge, Linda and Mark Griggs set a record for the Troop and the District by so many attending for weekend...likewise ...Stacy, Mr. Simon, and Paul Young contributed as staff for the program on highlighted subjects for the group.
