Scouts on Target
November 12-14, 2010
Halifax Country Gun Club
- The Camporee will be hosted by Troop 497 from South Boston
- Events will be based on targeting themes, but not just shooting sports. Targeting may include compasses, water balloons, rockets, etc. Events are still being planned and we are looking for units to create and host an activity.
- We have already confirmed plans for a .22 rifle competition, homemade sling shot range, a catapult and other great ideas. We need your participation to make this event a success.
- Please contact Barry Thompson or Tim Spayde if your unit has an event that they can sponsor. Complete details will be distributed in a later email and at the November Roundtable.
- The Halifax County Gun Club is located on Route 58, approximately 7 miles west of South Boston. There will be banners and flags to mark the entrance on the north side of 58. The club has great facilities with running water and electric available at sites if desired, but the space is compact, so consider this in your site planning.
Directions:
From Danville:
- Take 58E toward South Boston
- Approximately 8 miles outside of Danville you will pass the Turbeville intersection. There is a Fire Station and Softball field on the left side of the road directly past the intersection.
- 3.4 miles past the Turbeville intersection, take a left. Before you get to the cut through the median, you will see a large green road sign on the right that says "South Boston 7 Miles."
- As you take the turn, it will appear that you are going into the driveway at the house (mail box # 6192); the gravel road splits to the left and that goes to the club house.
From South Boston:
- Take 58W out of South Boston toward Danville.
- 3.2 miles past R. O. Harrell, take a right into the gravel driveway; mailbox # 6192 with white lattice work around the mail box. It will appear that you are driving to the house, but the gravel road splits to the left and that goes to the club house.
