This past week we received more information on the upcoming Cold Spot event at Camp Daniel Boone. I would like to see us take enough scouts to operate as two patrols. I'm sure that at least 12 of you can make it. There will be 8 events that patrols will compete in throughout the day on Saturday.
Those events are:
Rifle Range - Best 10 shots from a .22 will be scored
Shotgun - Best 5 shots will be scored.
Service Project - Everyone should participate in order to get a good score.
String Burn - Same as last year. (we should do better!)
Emergency Winter Shelter - I'll give you the details at next meeting.
Log Hoist - This is a new event. You must know your lashing and knots.
Blind Tent - This one sounds like fun and our troop will run this stop.
First Aid - Do not have the details yet.
The purpose of these events is to test your scout skills and to see how you function as a patrol. We don't have a lot of time to work on these events at our troop meeting so each scout should practice these skills at home during the week.
