The October campout is 2-night Range and Target Activities outing to Camp Sidney Dew in the John's Mountain Wildlife Management Area.  Participants will have the opportunity to shoot rifles, shotguns and archery, throw tomahawks, throwing knives, slingshots and build and use catapults.  All range and target activities will have highly qualified Range Safety Officers and BSA/NRA certified instructors.  The catapults will be assembled onsite and used to lauch tennis balls in the large activites field. Lots to do!! And star viewing at night.

Scouts can work on the Shooting Sports Merit Badge during this campout, although we will not be offering the merit badge courses.
