S.M.S for 10-15-23

Posted by swolfgram on Oct 15 2023 - 2:33pm
Good evening everyone
 
If your week has been down and glum this may perk you up old chum. Turn that frown upside down and let's see what's new this week. 
 
Recharter
Who is in and who is out this season. We need to know if you will be with us again this season. Please let Nicole and I know if you do NOT intend on sticking around for the 2023-2024 season. Again, if you will NOT be with us again this upcoming season let us know. 
 
Wreaths and popcorn 2023!
If you are reading this and have not sold at least one wreath or one thing of popcorn now is the time to get up and get selling. 
We have popcorn. We have wreaths. We have people needing both. Take an order and send it in one at a time if you need to. We will be collecting all orders by the end of the month! If you need to see what we have here is our website! ALL LINKS AND BUTTONS ARE WORKING.
 
 
This Monday Night: 
 
Troop Meeting
St. Marks church, 101 s 6th ave
Oct 15th, 7:00 - 8:15p
The main goal for tonight will be to go over the plans for next weekend's camp-out. This will be the shooting campout out in Indiana. We have not done one of these in some time and I'm hopeful that this will be a very productive weekend.
 
The continuation of citizenship in society has been postponed to next week as Mr.Beckstrom is out of town for the day.
 
October Camp-out 10-20 to 10-22:
Gunfight at the troop one corral

We will be staying at Tippecanoe River State Park (4200 N US Hwy 35, Winamac, IN 46996). We will be shooting at the Jasper-pulaski shooting range (4106 E 850 N, Wheatfield, IN 46392). We will be leaving from the Veterans center at 5:00(ish) and arriving around 8p (ish). Waking up around 7a and having a nice breakfast for the morning. At around 10a we will head to the range. We will be spending the day working on the Rifle merit badge and teaching the scouts proper gun safety and handling. The lunch will be cooked at the range (BBQ). Dinner will be back at the camp.
