[Troop351] Shooting Sports Campout

[David Cybuck]

You'll see this in Scout book and Band, and I wanted to add the reminder
here (email).
March is shooting sports at CCCS.  Here is some of the information you'll
need.
AND, and if you are arriving Saturday morning instead of traveling with the
troop Friday night please leave a comment in Scoutbook or Band.

For those new to the troop, CCCS is a private range with ownership that
loves and respects scouting.  One of the owners is a troop 351 Alumni
family.  We return this kindness by performing a service project, keeping
the facilities clean, and being respectful of the range members.  Depending
on the boys, there might be an opportunity for a flag retirement Saturday
evening.  This link has a great map of the property; check it out to get a
feeling for its size layout.

We will be camping at *Cavern Cove Competitive Shooting Range  (373 Ambush
Trail, Woodville, Al).*  We will have the troop trailer to transport troop
equipment and personal gear.  The weather that time of year will
likely be *forecasted
for a chance of* rain Weather

and
mild temperatures reaching highs in the 60s during the day and lows of 40
at night.  Since the lows will be in the 40s please have appropriate
clothing to keep you warm at night and in the morning.* Bring rain gear and
some extra dry clothes*.  Regarding the weather, They have a big pavilion
to get away from the rain. Shooting can be done from under shelters.  This
is one venue with a good mitigation from the rain.


There is access to an improved bath house with showers.  We have several
options for activities during the day on Saturday like shooting,
hiking/orienteering, conservation, etc. so be prepared.



It is a great idea to *look through your book* and see what you need to get
signed off and be prepared to get it done.  There will be plenty of adult
leaders with pens ready to sign off in your book.  Since this is a shooting
outing we will go over several of the requirements for rifle and shotgun
shooting.

Take a *look at the requirements for those merit badges* and know what you
need to get signed off.
