Quick Change

Here is a map to our destination. If you print directions they will be a little dodgy, but the picture is worth a thousand words.

A quick change from the calendar.  It looks like we need to rearrange some things for Independance Day.  Rather than having Scouts on Wednesday this week, we'll have our combined activity on Thursday.  Please assemble at the church at 6:30pm.  We will caravan to the Riverton church offices to do family history work.

Neither James nor myself will be able to make it.

Friday is our campout.  We'll head out a little later this time.  Please eat an early dinner and join us at 5:00 pm at the Mack's, where we will depart for Blackrock Canyon (12 miles south of 5 mile pass).  This is our wilderness survival camp, which means no tents - just bring your normal gear and we'll build our own shelters.  We'll also have a bit of a ballistics science project / demonstration to continue with the Shooting theme.  It should be fun!

We'll return Saturday before lunch.

Guns and Ammo

Don't forget your homework from last week!

This week we will continue our Shooting theme in preparation for the ballistics experiment and campout.  We'll meet at the church at 7:00 pm as usual, then caravan to the Mack's for more discussions and hands-on time with firearms and ammunition.

Our overnight campout this month is on June 29th.  We'll be heading to the West Desert for some wilderness survival skill training and our ballistics demonstration (various types of ammunition vs. ballistic gel).  No scouts will be firing guns at this event, but it should be pretty exciting.  More details to come.

Here is the link to your rifle merit badge homework!
Rifle Shooting Homework

Young Guns

This week marks the beginning of our Shooting program.  We'll focus on safety and fun, and sprinkle in a few requirements from the Rifle Shooting merit badge.  This week we'll be meeting at the Church at 7:00 pm for opening exercises.  We'll then drive to the Mack's (6044 W Intrigue Dr) for some hands-on discussions.  For safety reasons, ammunition and firearms will not be presented at the same time.  It should be fun!

Stake Conference

No scouts this week, we have the Youth Session of Stake Conference.  Please wear your Sunday dress - we will be meeting at the Stake Center at 7:00 pm.
