Event Details:

Campout Sid Richardson Scout Ranch

Our troop will be camping at Sid Richardson Scout Camp near Bridgeport.  Aside from normal camping, our troop will be assisting the Longhorn Council with the Hayride and Spookfest. 

During the day, scouts can help with Webelos and Cub Scout activities including archery, BB guns, and pumpkin chunking.  

Saturday night we will assist in feeding 500+ people that will be attending the haunted hayride.

Sid Richardson will be hosting a Haunted Hayride where our scouts can dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes to scare families as they ride on a trailer through the woods of SR2.  Those scouts that do not have costumes can wear professionally made costumes owned by the camp, including Storm Troopers, Darth Vader, Superheroes, and Villains.

Each Patrol will need to prepare:

Saturday Hot Breakfast and an easy lunch.  Dinner will be provided by the Longhorn Council.  The patrols will not have time to cook a Saturday dinner as the evening is filled with activities.

Sunday Cold Breakfast

This project is a two-step project to create a reading area for anxious students at Dawson Middle School. First, we will have a book drive from October 1st until October 22nd at Dawson Middle School, Carroll High School, Carroll Senior High School and the Southlake Public Library. Then, we will bring the collected books to Dawson Middle School on October 26th from 1 - 4 p.m. to build bookcases and create the reading area.  I am looking for volunteers to monitor the book drive at Dawson Middle School, Carroll High School, Carroll Senior High School and the Southlake Public Library. They will check on the donation bins weekly to be sure we are collecting enough books and that the bins are not overflowing and report back to me. I also need volunteers to come to Dawson Middle School on October 26th from 1-4 p.m. to construct the reading area.
