This trip is a tradition for Troop 149. Once again we will be holding our trip at Camp Sinoquipe. All adults will be sleeping in a large lodge; Scouts will use tents.
As the name Guns and Arrows suggests, we spend Saturday on three different ranges; archery, rifle and shotgun. For archery and rifle, we'll be shooting at targets. For shotgun, we'll be shooting skeet/clay targets.
This year we will have the addition of competitions! Top archer, rifle, and shotgun will receive a prize to be determined soon. Also, we will have a cooking competition, with adults serving as culinary judges. The winning patrol will receive a different prize to be named later!
BSA has a high standard for Shooting Sports which the Troop follows. In attendance on this trip will be NRA-trained Instructors and Range Safety Officers for Rifle and Shotgun Shooting and USA Archery / National Field Archery Association trained Archery Instructors and Range Safety Officers. Safety is an obsession on this trip and discipline on all the ranges is STRICTLY enforced.
We will have a training session for Rifle Shooting, Shotgun Shooting and Archery on Friday night when we arrive at Sinoquipe. Please review these training presentations before that meeting:
Your $35 fees (please pay via PayPal) cover Sinoquipe camping costs and all firearm rental and ammo. As always you must also include a signed BSA permission form.
EVERYONE should attend this campout!
(NOTE TO PARENTS: We need a volunteer to arrange this campout in future years. If you would like to volunteer, please attend and we will train you on the job!)
