What is Powderhorn: Well friends let me explain that
this is a hands-on introduction to High Adventure activities
that are available to you and your unit here in the
Alamo Area Council area. You will be given the opportunity
to try out Scuba, Mountaineering, COPE, black powder
shooting, dutch oven cooking, and much, much more. This
course is “Challenge by Choice.” You only
have to do the things that you want to do, but will
learn about all of the presented activities. The course
is designed around the Venturing Ranger Award, but is
for all Scout Leaders who want to provide the best possible
program to their youth. You will have a great time,
meet like minded fellow adults and learn about all the
opportunities that are out there for your unit from
local experts. This is not a total training program
but an orientation course so that you, the leader, will
be able to find the local expert to bring the program
to your unit that they want.
Remember, don’t wait to sign up. The course is
limited to 48 folks and we must have 32 signed up by
1 August 2006. Don’t miss this exciting event.
I will see you there!
