Shooting Campout 2002October 25-27, 2002 |
|
||||
Once again Troop 57 holds its annual shooting campout. After
spending several weeks teaching the scouts about safety rules and range procedures, we
embarked on our annual Shooting Merit Badge campout. We left FUMC Friday evening and
arrived at the campsite in Oklahoma late Friday night. We set up camp, got a good nights
sleep, then awoke the next morning to a big breakfast and then went about the business of
setting up three shooting ranges. One for .22 rifle, one for shotgun and one for black
powder muzzle loaders. We were fortunate on this campout. Usually Troop 57's fall campouts
are a testament to our rain gear preparedness. However this campout was
"precipitation-free". Although it was cool, windy & overcast the entire
weekend we didn't get one drop of rain until we started back Sunday morning.

Flag Ceremony |

Suday morning we packed our gear, policed the
area, and then had our flag ceremony and Chapel service. (Of course no Troop 57 Flag Ceremony is complete without the Troop Cannon!) |
