The Troop will be camping at Camp Constantin on September 13-15. The theme of the campout is Shooting Sports. All Youth members of the troop will be eligible to shoot 22 caliber Rifles and shotguns during the event. We will also have the archery range open. The firearms and ammunition will be provided. No personnel firearms or ammunition allowed. The cost is $70 per Scout, $30 per adult. Due to time constraints we are not allocating time for the Adults to Shoot. The Scouts will be assigned to groups so that they can rotate through the 4 activities, Rifle, Shotgun, Archery, and Service Project.

There is a mandatory Scout Safety briefing which will be conducted at the Monday night meeting on September 9, 2019. Scouts attending the campout must complete the training being held on September 9, 2019.

VOLUNTARY POPCORN FUNDRAISER

Do you want to raise funds for yourself and for your troop? Want to raise a little money to put towards scout campouts and treks? Does extra cash to spend at the Longhorn Council Scout Shop sound good to you? Then SELL SOME POPCORN!

Fundraising in Troop 928 is completely VOLUNTARY, and no scout is obligated, but we hope that ALL scouts will want to participate as this directly affects YOU! 30% of all profits go directly into the scout’s individual troop account. Scouts can also earn REWARDS and PRIZES like Amazon Gift Cards (based on amount of sales). Big sellers actually receive cash back in the form of a personal college scholarship fund!

Popcorn sales to start soon and will go until early October... so start thinking about your neighbors, friends, parents’ coworkers, and even out-of-state friends and relatives (free shipping for all online orders!).

Interested scouts, please contact Mary Kim Mehlman at marykim.mehlman@troop928.org Or you can register with Trails-End (our popcorn sponsor) at https://www.trails-end.com/registration
