Troop 1513 took a divide and conquer approach to our activity last night. We had a number of boys who joined with the 11-year old scouts to work on their compass work required for their 2nd Class rank. The rest of the troop worked on the archery merit badge, some of which had nearly completed while at Camp Tifie. Good shooting, gents!
Special thanks for Cory Walker for hosting and running our range and to Kevin Goulding in helping us secure bows from the district. Cory, when farmer Brown's sprinklers are off, let us know and we'll help find some of the errant arrows that went missing.
If anyone is looking for a test of strength, seek out Mike "Muscle Man" Merrill and ask to draw back on his 70+ lb compound bow. Not only did I struggle to draw the bow back during my turn, I think I heard Vince whisper to Mike, "boy if you think he's a sissy now, you should have heard him squeal when he thought a bear was outside his tent at Tifie".
