The army has kindly offered the scouts an opportunity to shoot simulated weapons on a shooting range. Afterwards we will have a barbecue of a shooting range. We will meet at the Scout hall at 9:00. Then we will carpool to Simpson Barracks, Watsonia. This will take us to 10:00. Before we start the shooting we will have a quick safety brief. We will shoot from 10:00-12:00. Then from 12:00-1:00 we will be having a break and a barbecue. After lunch we are going to have a competition for the best shot with a possible award. Finally we will return home from 2:00 and finish up at 3:00.
There are only 20 places available, so please book ASAP at this link on TryBooking.
We will collect a $5 contribution towards the BBQ lunch on the day.
Please bring a completed Y5 Special Activities Form
Please wear uniform to and from the event.
We will also be inviting Venturers from Monash Venturer Unit and will open to other Moonee Valley Troops if our Troop is unable to field enough participants.
Thanks to Major Ben Harington for organising this opportunity to learn about our defence forces.
