 For those that were able to attend, the Three Eagle Shootout was held this past Saturday at the Pickaway County Sportsmen Inc.  The scouts learned to shoot rifles, shotguns and bows and arrows.  Thank you to Troop 170 for hosting this event. 


I will not be at this week's meeting as Zack is playing in a baseball tournament game.  Mr. Guay will be acting Scoutmaster.  In this week's troop meeting, we will have a guest who is a student at Columbus College of Art and Design, has been to Philmont Scout Ranch and would like to speak to our troop about outdoor camping gear design.  The scouts will also be making nominations for the next Senior Patrol Leader.  A scout must be at least 1st class and 13 years old to be nominated for Senior Patrol Leader.
