We are heading out to Summer Camp this week! Please use the links throughout this post for relevant details.
Our District has a pretty exciting agenda lined up at Camp Tomahawk (driving directions). The boys registered for Merit Badges a while back - there will likely be some adjustments to this once we've made it to camp. We'll be mustering on Monday at 6:30am at Brother Quincy's, returning there around 3:00pm on Saturday.
Our group has been assigned to the Great Eagle site at Camp Tomahawk. Unfortunately, the closest weather forecast I could get is for Bear River Lodge, and it looks to be wet most of the week. Should be fun!

Tent Care
This week we join with our 11 year old Scouts to learn the ins and outs of tent care. It was pretty apparent when we set them up last week that we could all use some lessons here, so we'll have the older boys teach the younger boys how to set them up and take them down properly, and work together to clean them off heading in to our Summer Camp next week. We'll meet at the church at 7:00 as usual, but we'll likely head to a leader's house to get the tents up and cleaned.
As a side note, I moved footage of the shooting experiment to my hard drive today and some of the shots are pretty fun in slow motion. If there is anything to learn from this experience besides all the terminal ballistics stuff, its that we can really learn to improve our camera skills. I'll see what I can do to get some video cut and put online soon.

Shooting Wrap Up
This week we will wrap up our shooting theme. We'll look at some video from Saturday's event, listen to those that attended and spend some time learning how to disassemble and maintain modern firearms. Please meet at the church at 7pm on Wednesday for opening exercises. We'll then travel to the Mack's. Please don't forget to wear your uniforms.

Unfortunately we couldn't have our campout and ballistics demonstration last week due to the fire. Our prayers go out to all those who've suffered as a result of the many fires in Utah, as well as the emergency workers who diligently try to bring them under control.
I was able to get permission to continue with the ballistics demonstration this Saturday up at the Lee Kay Shooting Range, which is a very safe and controlled environment. We are also scheduled to have a West Valley detective on hand with a few additional firearms not previously expected. It should be great.
Let's meet at the Mack's at 12:30 on Saturday to head up. We'll be gone until around 5:00 pm at the latest, but will likely be home earlier. Please bring eye and ear protection if you have it, and a hat. Also, please eat before you come and bring some water with you. There isn't much shade in the shooting bays we are using.
