This week's activity at the Shooting Club was impressive! Scouts had the opportunity to learn from Sport Shooting National Medalists. First time shooters as well as veteran target hunters were satisfied with the improvement in equipment, facility and staff. Another trip there soon and a great place for the rifle shooting merit badge to be earned in Shanghai.

Troop 12 continues to meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We are now meeting at Shanghai Community International School's (SCIS) beautiful new campus in Hong Qiao. Come join us! In fact our new meeting place is less than 100 yards from the old "Millington Camp" site (present day location at the crossroads of Hong Qiao Lu and Yan An Xi Lu), a site used by all of the old Shanghai Scouts, including Troop 12 from 1917 to 1950.

Some of our previous scout leaders have moved from Shanghai due to the economic downturn. If you are interested in serving as a volunteer please contact us at ddpoppell@usa.net. Troop 12's Rain, Hail or Shine credo means we never miss a chance for camping, fellowship and a good camp fire.

Check our schedule to see the planned campouts for this season in Shanghai, Jiang Su and Zhe Jiang Provinces. We even have one in Inner Mongolia this year. So whether you like sand beach camping, bamboo forest trailblazing or urban adventures, Shanghai is a great place to start.

Good luck to to Eagle Scout Ed, who was with Troop 12 a few years back (coming from Nanjing to Shanghai each week!) as he pursues his dream of attending the United States Air Force Academy. One step closer.
