January 23-24 Outing – WREATH CLEANUP / BULL RUN CAMPING / SHOOTING


When:     January 23-24, 2016
Where:    Bull Run Regional Park Campground, Centerville, VA 
Time:      Arrive at the St. Francis parking lot at 6:30am, January 23
Return to St. Francis mid afternoon on Sunday, January 24

Scouts will enjoy winter car camping at Bull Run Regional Park after they participate in the wreath cleanup at Arlington National Cemetery.  Scouts 12 and older will take part in a “Learn to Shoot” class where they will learn gun safety, handling and cleaning of a shotgun and then each will take turns shooting skeet.  Scouts 11 and under will take an Archery class where they will learn the basics of archery and then take turns shooting a bow and arrow at the target.  The scouts will camp in tents at Campground A.

Troop 55 will use this opportunity to learn gun and bow/arrow safety and shooting skills as well as scout skill development during the day. Scouts should pack a heavy snack or lunch to eat after the wreath cleanup.  We will bring our trailer with all troop and patrol equipment, and as always, meals are planned and prepared by patrols.  Patrols will be responsible for lunch & dinner on Saturday, and Sunday breakfast. 

Scouts must be prepared for cold weather, and should remember the potential need for layered, synthetic clothing when they pack. Rain gear and a warm sleeping bag is a must, as well as a change into warm dry clothes (no cotton) for sleeping, extra layers (no cotton) to add on, and extra pairs of dry socks. It will be cold in the evening.

There is a $59 fee for each scout and parent attending (includes $10 transportation, shooting class, meals & camping). Cost is $49 for scout and parent if driving if paid by Jan 13. 

LATE FEE AFTER JAN 14 WILL BE $69 FOR NON DRIVER/SCOUT AND $59 FOR DRIVER/SCOUT
