It’s time to register for the Dade Ranch campout next weekend, Sept 25-27. We’ll be shooting .22s and Shotguns this year so come ready to have fun.
As usual we will be meeting at CRUMC at 6:15pm on the 25th, however, we do not have access to the church for ice or restrooms so please take care of these needs before you arrive.
Our pre-campout troop meeting is this Monday night at 7pm at 17 Acres by the GaGa ball pit. (SE corner of Legacy and Custer. Eric Badowski is also going to have a parent committee meeting so everyone bring a camp chair for you and your son as we have an outdoor troop meeting.
The registration will close this Sunday at 8pm so please be timely. We are planning a special dinner Saturday night so we need an accurate count to get our supplies right.

This is a regular campout, so the normal packing list applies (check the weather forecast for Leonard, TX and pack accordingly.) The more boys that can hammock the better so we minimize tent use.
COVID Accommodations: Hammocks are the best choice for social distancing of boys. If you don’t have a hammock and you are concerned about your son sharing a tent with another boy then please let me know and your son may tent alone. I want to keep this to a minimum though as our 2-boys-per-tent policy is about safety in numbers and your son’s safety is very near and dear to me. Ultimately I want as many boys camping with us as possible so if there are reasonable accommodations we can make for you to be comfortable sending your son please let me know and we’ll do our best. We’ll travel with masks on in the cars. If you aren’t comfortable with that then please consider driving your son individually. The trip is right at an hour one way so it’s a very reasonable drive.
Yours in Scouting,
Frank Buercklin
