2013 Sheriff’s Dept Christmas Party

If you weren’t at the tree lot you were requested to work the sheriff party. The party started at 4:30 to 9:30. We were able to eat a wonderful dinner before we got to work. We had 10 – 15 stations from: ring toss, soccer, and bowling also we had about 32 gift bikes for the kids. The kids put their name in a basket for the bike they liked so in the end the kids had a raffle and the winner got to keep the bike. The temperature was 15 degrees when we started and when we finished at 9:30 the temp was in the single digits. There were special guest for the children, Ronald McDonald did a magic show and the other special guests were Santa and Mrs. Claus from the North Pole. At the party they got to play games, ate dinner and did arts and crafts. There were at least 300 kids that showed up and each of them had a blast

Christmas Trees 2013

Troop 184 had a tree lot which all scouts were required to help. There were 4 shifts each Friday through Sunday that were available but you only had to work 3 of them for the 4 weeks we worked. The shift was from morning to afternoon to midafternoon and night. Also if there were extra shifts you could work them to earn more money for your scout account. We sold a total of 479 trees. We had multiple trees from 4ft to 11 ft. The trees we had were Charlie brown, noble fir, grand fir, Michigan fir, balsam fir and Frasier fir. During our shifts each scouts was responsible to carry, hold or unwrap the trees. The leaders/parents took the money, filled out paper work, and to use a chain saw to precut the tree. The temp was from 60 degrees to 5 degrees.

November 2013 Campout

Our troop went on a shooting campout in Red Feather Colorado. If you didn’t go you missed out on a whole lot. We stayed 2 nights November 9th through the 11th. During our camp trip, we got to shoot a 22 caliber rifle and a 12 gage shotgun. Anyone under the age of 14 shot single shot rifles and the pump shotgun but if you were a Venture Scout you were able to shoot semi animatic rifles, and magazine, shot semi animatic shotgun and or a double barrel shotguns. Also available to the Adventure Scouts were AR15s and 30-6s. this 2 night campout allowed us to get 25 frost points for the trip. Also we worked on 3 main merit badges rifle shooting, shotgun shooting, and cooking merit badges. I believe the cooking merit badge will be an Eagle required badge now in January 2014. The campout taught us how to be careful, and responsible with a gun. We shot about 2000 rounds of 22 and about 1000 rounds of shot gun.
