Good evening everyone
 
If your week has been down and glum this may perk you up old chum. Turn that frown upside down and let's see what's new this week.

This Monday Night: 
 
Troop Meeting
St. Marks church, 101 s 6th ave
Oct 15th, 7:00 - 8:15p
The main goal for tonight will be to go over the plans for next weekend's camp-out. This will be the shooting campout out in Indiana. We have not done one of these in some time and I'm hopeful that this will be a very productive weekend.
 
The continuation of citizenship in society has been postponed to next week as Mr.Beckstrom is out of town for the day.
 
October Camp-out 10-20 to 10-22:
Gunfight at the troop one corral

We will be staying at Tippecanoe River State Park (4200 N US Hwy 35, Winamac, IN 46996). We will be shooting at the Jasper-pulaski shooting range (4106 E 850 N, Wheatfield, IN 46392). We will be leaving from the Veterans center at 5:00(ish) and arriving around 8p (ish). Waking up around 7a and having a nice breakfast for the morning. At around 10a we will head to the range. We will be spending the day working on the Rifle merit badge and teaching the scouts proper gun safety and handling. The lunch will be cooked at the range (BBQ). Dinner will be back at the camp.
