Venturing Crew 1150

Our first campout will be at Camp Big Mac, just outside Front Royal. We’ll depart from the Church Friday evening after work & school, and return Sunday early noon.

We will do pistol and shotgun shooting, with class instruction in the weeks preceeding the campout. There will be tent or cabin camping available.

Camp Big Mac is very ‘new camper’ friendly, with a full lodge/mess hall, kitchen, indoor plumbing, etc. You can see some of it here.

Mike and I completed our Shotgun Instructor Class yesterday. So, two down, one or two more to go (rifle and black powder).

Mike, Sue, and I have completed VLST. Phil and Eddie completed VLSC. Congrats to everyone, and thanks for taking time out of your weekend to complete this required training!

Sue bought her first pistol last night. Its a cute little Walther P22. Its funny ironic that my wife is now a gun owner, considering she never wanted them in the house for the longest time.

The other interesting thing we discovered is that she is left eye dominant, which means that she now has to learn all over again. Hey, if it means more range time for me too, I’m all for it.

Don’t forget University of Scouting’s Venture training for adults and youth this weekend. All youth are encouraged to take this once-a-year training opportunity. It is a requirement for the Silver Award. You can get more details here. Adults want to look for the College of Adventure Scouting, youth want to look for VLSC(Y) – Venturing Leadership Skills Course (Youth). This is listed in the stand-alone course section. Walk-in are welcome, so you should not have any worries if you did not preregister.

Hope to see you there!
