Outdoor adventure scouting for all
Every year, the Troop has a tradition of an October shooting sports weekend / car camping trip to Mt Umunhum. We partner with a combination of our own trained and qualified adults, and a local Venturer Crew with similar skills and capabilities to allow scouts and adults exposure to archery and rilfe shooting.
This year, the tradition of adults cooking up a big shared BBQ dinner was maintained, along with the scouts leading in an (always “uncomfortably exciting”) Iron Chef breakfast.
Excitement and poignancy in the air, as this night saw the departure from the Troop after founding female Youth member, ex Serpents Patrol Leader, and two-year SPL Emily C, had her last night with the Troop before aging out.
Thanks Emily for contributing so much to the Troop over the last 8 years, from your first 50 miler in the Hi Sierra, to your work as a Staff Member at Camp Hi-Sierra.
To offset the departure, it was appropriately, a night for potential new Troop 260 members to join us for a Webelo’s open house, where the Troop ran through its standard, but always well received, stations on knives, fire, games and stoves (hot choc!).
