On Saturday May 7th, Pack 104 scouts came to Camp Herms for the annual Target Sports Day. Some scouts attended the full day, while others only came for a half day.
The activities at the Cub Scouts Target Sports Day included BB guns, Archery, Slingshots, Nerf guns, Tennis ball cannon, Giant slingshots, and Corn hole. Most activities were completed in 35-minute slots, with 5 minutes for walking between activities and 30 minutes for the activity. Check out these photos taken during the event.
On May 16, 2021 2:30pm-6pm, Pack 104 scouts parents and den leaders met in the Quarry at Camp Herms for Pack BB, Archery, and Slingshot training activity and educational event. Scouts who attended and completed the trainings earned the Shooting Sports Award with the Archery, BB and Slingshot pins.
Thank you to RJ, John, Starla, Michael, Nikki, and Mira for coordinating the event, for running Classes on history, safety, and mechanics for each shooting sport, and for supplying healthy snacks and dinner. Please see below for a gallery of images taken during this well-attended event.

No big surprise but COVID Protocols will need to be in place in order to make this outing as safe as possible.
1. Please take everyone’s temperature before you leave your home. If anyone in your family has a temperature of 99.5 or higher you must not come to the event!
2. When you arrive, please check in and get screened. Do not allow your scout to join everyone until your family has checked in and been screened.
3. No Carpooling please (I hate to say this, but its the safest way right now)
4. Face masks must be worn at all times. If you are eating or drinking you may take it off. If you need air, please walk away from the group and get a breath of fresh air.
5. We must use hand sanitizer often and will need to observe social distancing as much as possible.

Make your way to the Bear Creek Staging Area.
We will be meeting at the Parking lot at 10 AM and will shoot until Lunch. Please pack lunch, snacks and a water bottle! There is nothing around for miles!
Bring $3 for parking and $5 per family for use of the range CASH!! They do not except cards and there is no ATM. Do not forget your Bow and Arrow. There will not be any for rent or use there. If you do not have a bow and arrow, please check these kits on Amazon
Getting these sets or something similar is appropriate for Cub Scout age kids. These are recurve bows similar to what we use at Camp Herms when we shoot there. Compound bows are not ideal for beginners. Please try to share as little as possible. If you do share, please sanitize equipment after each use.
For more information about the Archery in Briones please see the club website.
There will also be an opportunity for a hike. Boy Scouts from Troop 24 may be setting up an orienteering course. Cub Scouts will be able to go on that hike and find out more about what orienteering is. If they do not end up putting together the Orienteering Course, we will take a hike around the hills in Briones.
Please shoot me an email so that I know you are coming. The archery range is a long ways from the parking lot and the cell reception is spotty. If I do not know you are coming and you show up late you may have trouble joining the group.
