Please let everyone know that Lynn Strunk’s mother passed away this week.
Our sympathies and prayers go out to the family. You can contact Lynn on his
facebook page.
Thanks to our carpentry merit badge counselor on Monday night, everyone got
hands on experience planing boards, clinching nails, laying shingles, and a
skill that a lot of carpenters learn early, how to pull out a nail. Next
week will be starting on the step stool as the final requirement.
Either email or tell Evan or Mrs Breeden if you are interested in the Chicamauga trip
set for Sep 17-19. You have the option of coming up Friday or Saturday.
The 147th Anniversary of the battle will be that weekend and we are camping
on the battlefield.
Decisions need to be made:
Who is going?

gladly taken. If the Troop decides they want to kick in $10 and cook as a

etc are encouraged. Tentatively scheduled for Oct 15-17.

DESCRIPTION OF
NIGHT MISSIONS
The following is a brief description of the 11 night missions (whose
successful completion is so crucial to the survival of mankind). You will
get written sealed orders upon completion of each mission to guide you to
the next mission. The missions below are listed in random order. Read these
descriptions very carefully. A lot is riding on the outcome.
________________________________________
LASER GAUNTLET
Patrols take turns being the invaders and defenders. Defenders choose two
people from their patrol who are then blindfolded and stand with
lasers(flashlights) ready for action. Invaders must approach quietly, they
are not allowed to run. If they make noise and are “flashed” with a laser,
they’re dead and must sit down. Defenders win by killing off all invaders.
Invaders win if they can tag defenders without being killed. There is a time
limit for each round. ________________________________________
BLIND ESCAPE
An explosive device goes off blinding everyone except one person; he can see
but is paralyzed and can’t move. He must guide his fellow agents by voice
through a dangerous series of obstacles to rescue him and escape to safety.
Teamwork and cooperation is your only hope for survival.
________________________________________
STEALTH HIKE
The group must traverse a route from Point A to Point B without being seen
or heard. Enemy agents are on patrol, and have been warned of potential
invaders. They will be looking for you.
________________________________________
ESPIONAGE ADVENTURE
You must recover an item of secret information. It is stored in a container
in a distant location. You will follow directions that will take you to the
container. When you arrive you find several booby trapped decoy containers
near it. Which is the right one? If you carefully follow the clues, you will
choose wisely. If you choose the wrong container, it could be a tragic end.
________________________________________
STAR TREK
Learn about the heavens and how to find your way at night using the stars,
then trek across an open expanse under a luminous star filled sky.
________________________________________
JAWS OF DEATH
You will exercise your jaws on a buffet of sausages, cheese, crackers,
cookies, veggies, cold cut sandwiches, soup, pizza nuggets & sauce,
lemonade, and hot beverages.
________________________________________
SOLO ENCOUNTER
A serious discussion about the spirit of Scouting, followed by a question
for you to ponder, and then time completely alone under the stars for some
personal reflection.
________________________________________
SECRET STRANGER
Somewhere along the trail you will be approached by a stranger. Is he a
friend or an enemy? Does he speak the truth or falsehoods? What does he want
from you? Do you dare trust him?
________________________________________
ENEMY ENCAMPMENT
You must evaluate the strength of an enemy encampment and make a map of the
location. You cannot be seen or heard in your attempt. The future of western
civilization depends on your successful completion of this mission.
________________________________________
AGENT RESCUE
An agent has been hit. You will be given instructions for finding him. Treat
his wounds, and then evacuate him to safety. The trouble is, enemy agents
are looking for him too. Who will find him first?
________________________________________
MYSTERY MISSION
Sorry, this is a complete mystery. No one knows what the mission is (not
even the president). It will remain a mystery until moments before you
begin. (National security you know) It’s big! It’s vitally important! Be
prepared for anything!
