Pumpkin Sling Campout – October 18-19, 2013

Trying something a little out of the ordinary, Troop 49 will participate in the Last Fling Pumpkin Sling at Millbrook Farm in Harmony Township New Jersey.  http://www.pumpkinsling.com/index.html  With a country fair atmosphere, and a fall nip in the air, we will join with other schools and civic organizations to see just how far we can hurl a 2-3 pound pumpkin.

We’ll will leave OLPH on Friday night at 5:30 and have a late dinner on site.  On Saturday, we’ll rise early and assemble and test our trusty pumpkin launcher.  Over the course of the day, each team will have an official practice shot, and three shots that are scored.  As dark descends, we’ll head for home, affording those who wish an opportunity to try orienteering on Sunday.  See http://www.scoutorienteering.com/events/2013-10-20a.htm

Fee for the event is $25.00 per person.
