Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

I hope you are all preparing for a great weekend of shooting sports, fishing and rocketry at Mr. Raney's ranch.

If your scout has a dutch oven that he took home to clean, it should be returned tonight (Wednesday) between 6-7pm at the trailer loadup or if he is not part of the quartermaster team responsible for load up tonight then he may bring it back on Friday.

On Friday, we are assembling at 5:30pm to load up for Quail Alley. We need to leave by 6:00pm. If possible, please be early.

We need 20 2-liter plastic bottles for the rocketry event. If you can provide some, please let me know via email so we can purchase what is not provided by your contributions.

The cost for this campout is $15 per person. The additional $5 covers the cost of Shells, Clays, BB's, Arrows and Rocket components. If your scout is purchasing food for his patrol he should be reminded that Breakfast and Lunch on Saturday will be prepared and served by Patrol.

Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast will be a departure from our normal method. For dinner the patrols will prepare their own side dishes and desserts while making enough extra to cover five (5) other individuals not in their patrol (Patrol + 5). The fried fish entree will be provided by the adult patrol for the entire camp at dinner.

Sunday breakfast will be served buffet style for the entire camp, while each patrol will contribute enough food for the members of their patrol. Keep in mind that you may not eat what you bring since it will be prepared as a buffet. No Poptarts Please. The quartermaster team will be responsible for the common buffet preparation.

Several scouts have indicated they need to return as early as possible on Sunday. We will be breaking camp early and plan to depart by 9:00am for a 12 Noon arrival. We will drop off scouts and personal gear in the hospital lot while the quartermaster team deals with the small equipment trailer at the scout shed.

Thank you for your attention to this tediously long but informative message. Should you have questions, please contact me.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
