Hatchet Throwing Training – Oct 25 |

What’s more fun than handing a bunch of middle schoolers edged weapons and encouraging them to let fly?
Picking up a hatchet and doing it yourself! At this adult training day you’ll learn how properly care for, hold, and throw hatchets and tomahawks, and how to safely run a hatchet range. This training is required to use the hatchet throwing range at Nocatee. (And it’s fun!)

Troop Camp Training – Feb 28, March 14-15 |
|
|
Troop Camp Training is a required course for leaders who want to take their troop camping: either as a troop or as part of a service unit camporee such as our annual Ingathering. Camp training is probably the second most important adult training to receive, after CPR / First Aid. This year’s TCT session is going to be in late February and mid-March, which bumps right up against our Ingathering dates. If your troop is getting their TCT trained volunteer at this session, please let us know as we begin planning Ingathering, so that we can work to integrate that into our planning.
Camp training is not yet on the GSSEF activity calendar, so for now mark your own calendars and stay tuned, no magic button yet. |
