Shooting Camp

This months camp out was at the local shooting range where we did most of our cooking in dutch ovens and camped under the patio of the club house. A special thank you gose out to Mr Decou who arrainged everything, including free ammo, and taught us Hunter Safty.

Montana de Oro Camp Out

The Montana de Oro camp out was a great success, together we had 14 Scouts and eight adults including two families. We also had several adults drop by to take part in Saturdays activities. Despite the very damp fog and nightly interruptions by hungry raccoons everyone seemed to have had a fun and memorable camp out, (especially the "Hot Dog!" skit by the Moose Patrol).
