Frontier Trails District Cub Shootout This Saturday (11/21)

Here are the details about the Cub Shootout I talked about at the campout this weekend.  The flyer about the event is not online, so I'll type it out word for word so I don't forget anything:

 

Ready! Aim! Fire! Come join the fun and possibly win a Turkey, frozen of course.  You have two chances to shoot a perfect score of 50 with BB guns.  We will add both scores to determine the winner.  The boys will be divided up by rank.  Tie breakers will be determined by a shootout until a winner is declared.  The top 3 boys in each Rank will be awarded a turkey.  The boys will earn their BB Beltloop.

 

Don't forget to check out the Troop expos to either find a troop or look to see what Boy Scouts is all about

 

The boys also have the opportunity to earn the Junior U.S.A. Shooting team 2009 Rifle Patch.  To learn more, go to www.nssf.org/jrusa.

 

Event Date:  Saturday, November 21, 2009

Location:  North Texas State Fairgrounds (www.ntfair.com), 2217 N. Carroll Blvd, Denton TX, 76201

Times:  Tigers (9-10AM,   Wolves 10-11AM,   Bears 11AM-12PM,   Webelos 12-1PM)

Fees: $5.00 per participant

 

I will make a photocopy of this flyer and bring it to the Pack meeting this Thursday.  The flyer also contains an area where you will need to register your scout for the event.  I'm sure they will have more of these forms at the event in case you don't get a registration from us.

 

If you have any questions about the event, please let me know.  Thanks.

 

Yours truly in scouting,

 

Chris

Fwd: [pack4600:20] Pack 4600 Fall Family Campout (Nov 14-15 at Hills & Hollows)

Parents of Pack 4600,

 

As announced at October's Pack meeting, your family is invited to the 1^st annual fall family campout on Saturday, November 14^th to Sunday, November 15^th at Hills & Hollows in Denton.  Even though this pack has been around for a couple years, this will be our first attempt at having a campout in the fall and also at Hills & Hollows.  There is no cost for the event.  The pack will provide the food for supper, breakfast, and smores for the campfire.  We ask that you bring water, drinks, sack lunches, snacks, and everything you may need for camping and hiking. 

 

We will have 2 events at the campout, orienteering and another to be determined.  If you don't know what orienteering is, it's basically where we will group people together and have then use a compass and map to find control points throughout the entire campsite.  The other event we will do will either be sports-, crafts-, or outdoors-related.  Here's a tentative schedule for the event:

There will be coffee brewing on some camp stoves but no guarantees unless you bring your own.  There are however stoves available to brew your own.  Other than peanut allergies, please let me know if anyone in your family has any food allergies or dietary restrictions.  I've uploaded a document to the Google Group called 2009_Fall_Family_Campout_Checklist.pdf will help you packing for the campout.

 

Hills & Hollows is located off 377 and Roselawn Dr in Denton.  Click here to view a detailed map where the camp is which is located on our Longhorn Council's website.  There are 3 different campsites at Hills & Hollows. Our campsite is called "Spirit Hill".  There is no vehicle access to campsite, so you will need to park at the activity building and carry your stuff to the campsite.  Once you are done unloading your vehicle, you will need to move your vehicle to the overnight area.   Click here to view the map of Hills & Hollows.  We will try to park 2 vehicles as close to the campsite as possible for emergency purposes.  Running water will only be available from the activity building.  There is a latrine located at our campsite.

 

We have a lot of families signed up to attend the campout this year.  If you haven't signed up yet, need to cancel, or change the number of people that are going, please let me know by Tuesday, November 10^th because we need to purchase food for the event.  This will be a shine only event.  This means if conditions are not favorable to camp, we will cancel the event.  We want this event to be as pleasant as possible for the scouts because this could be their first experience at camping.  If they have a bad experience, they may not want to do it again and scouting = camping.  If we do cancel the event, we will let you know by Thursday, November 12^th. 

 

If you have any questions about the event, please email or call me.  Hope to see you all there.

 

Thanks.

 

Yours truly in scouting,

 

Chris
