  Archery in February

The Scorpion Patrol is going to the Rapids Archery Club's indoor range on February 14, 2010 to complete work on their Archery Merit Badge. After a January Patrol meeting with an Archery Merit Badge Counselor at their troop meeting, Scorpion Patrol Scouts will work on the hands on requirements and a day of shooting and arrow making.  (click here for a map to Rapids Archery Club)

We will be leaving from St Richard's Parking lot at 7:00 a.m. for arrival by our 9:00 a.m. class start time. Bring money for a McDonald's Breakfast on the way and make sure you read the instructions for preparation for this event.  Copy of Flyer
