Fellow buckskinners,

A call for volunteers………….

A Boy Scout leader has contacted me asking for some of us to help him put on a weekend campout for disadvantaged boys on February 17th.

The theme of the campout is the Mountain Man era.

There will be instructions in the skills needed to survive in the Shinin’ Mountains.

We will demonstrate the skills and teach the boys how to perform them.

Shooting, knife and hawk throwing and archery are included, along with fire starting, crafts, etc.

NRA qualified range and shooting officers will be present.

Those of us who would like to do so may set up period camps on Friday or Saturday and camp either or both nights.

There will be around 70 Scouts there that will be in Troops of about eight boys each.

The Troops will rotate through the activities.

The boys will arrive Friday afternoon and set up their camps, take part in the activities on Saturday. They will break camp and do some brush clearing for the State Park officer on Sunday, before heading home.

If you would provide your time and talents please let me know as soon as possible so I can help the leader plan the Saturday activities.

Some of them might be the buckskinners of tomorrow.

For more details, or to volunteer, contact Joe “Grey Wolf” Wolf at 830-935-3121 or 830-832-5399, or email wolfbear “at” gvtc.com
