In April, we will be tent camping at Resica Falls Scout Reservation. The activity for the weekend is shooting sports. We will have the rifle and archery ranges open and are working on shotgun shooting. In between individual patrol times for the ranges, we will have activites down on the parade field.

In the morning, our youngest Scouts will be working on advancement, i.e. passing requirements for Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks as needed. Older scouts will be doing other activities, primarily games of one sort or another. The youngest Scouts will participate in the games as time allows. Patrols will be cooking their own meals, Sat breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as Sun breakfast. In the evening we’ll have a troop campfire and as weather permits, a night game.

As a reminder, this is a great opportunity for those working on First Class to complete their cooking requirements. Boys should talk with their Patrol Leaders to arrange for this opportunity. Each patrol will identify two Scouts to do all of the food handling for the weekend (purchasing the food and preparing the meals). Food buyers can pick up a check from the treasurer at the regular Monday Troop Meeting before we leave, April 18, 2022, and should also pick up their patrol coolers before they leave so that they can properly store food perishables.

If you’re interested in attending, RSVP via Scoutbook and bring your payment to the April 18, 2022 Troop Meeting. The absolute cutoff is 7:45 PM on April 18, 2022. The cost for the trip is $35.
