This weekend

I apologize for the late information but here are the plans for the weekend.
Friday night at 6:00 pm you can either take your son directly to Benshoff Hill sportsmans club, you can meet up with Glenn at the church and follow him. He will be there from 6:00 pm to 6:15 pm,
after that he will be gone. We will be working and shooting Saturday, cleaning up and ready to go by 11am on sunday. The address for the club is 1260 Benshoff Hill Rd, Johnstown, PA, 15906.
Estimated cost for this camp is going to be around 25 dollars. Hope to see you all soon.

Shooting sports camp

 Shooting sports camp is rapidly approaching, here is what you need to know.......

Shooting camp will be Friday July, 22nd through Sunday the 24th.

 You must register your son ASAP by responding to the blog in the comments section. We need first and last name so that Brian Law can register the classes properly. Please also include any family that will be attending  I will not accept Text messages, emails etc. as registration as Brian needs to be able to look at them as well. Your son needs to be registered no later than this Friday, July 15th.

Next Monday at our regular scout meeting is the mandatory safety training. If your son wants to shoot, he needs to be there.

We have been asked to do some maintenance around the club to help them prep for their NRA day the following weekend. This a completely reasonable request as they charge us nothing and shut down their club for us. We will need Moms and Dads to help with this, especially Saturday. Nothing too hard but it will help them out a great deal. Please respond ASAP and let me know how many of you can help. If we do not have parents that will help clean up a bit, we will cancel the shooting camp as it is not fair to use the facility and turn our backs when they need a hand.

If you have questions, problems, concerns, feel free to contact me directly at 233-1464

Canoe Camp responses needed ASAP.

As of right now, I only have 4 boys and 3 adults registered for Canoe Camp. I will eed to get moving on this pretty quick so please either comment, email or text me how many scouts, how many adults and how many siblings will be attending as soon as you can. Thanks.

SHOOTING SPORTS CAMP!!!!!!

Benshoff Hill Sportsmens Club has again agreed to loan us use of their club for a weekend for the boys to participate in a weekend of shooting sports. The weekend is July 22 through July 24th.

The following weekend is their annual Family Fun Days. Since the club is always so generous with the use of their facility I told Steve Lindberg that we would assist in preparations for the weekend by helping clean up the property while we are there. In addition to our typical responsibilities of cleaning up trash, etc., we'd also pitch in by removing some brush, mowing grass, and the like. This can easily be undertaken as we spend the weekend there.

The Monday prior,July 18th, I would like to use the regularly scheduled meeting for the classroom work. All Scouts are encouraged to come to this meeting, but those earning their rifle, shotgun, and archery badges MUST attend the classroom session. If a Scout cannot attend on this date, but plans on earning these badges the following weekend, let me know. I can always work with them to schedule an alternate day/time for this portion.

We'll cover safety several times over the weekend at Benshoff Hill, so everyone shooting will know exactly what is expected of them.

Several parents are looking to get these dates on their calendar, so please share this message via the blog.

Thanks,

Brian

This years Canoe Camp

Putts Camp has not been returning phone calls, emails, etc. So we are going to go to Shawnee that weekend instead. We will be leaving on June 24th around 4pm. We will be coming home on Monday around 4 pm as well. I need to know as soon as possible and no later than Monday June 13th if your son is going to attend and how many people will be coming. Cost should still be around 50 to 75 dollars per person. As soon as I have a list of people I will publish a final list of what merit badges will be offered. We will work to make sure that even if your son has all the water based merit badges that he can earn others. Any questions, feel free to give me a call.
