In December our troop practiced archery and BB gun shooting on a large piece of undeveloped property next to Holy Trinity Parish in El Dorado Hills. In additional, the cadets learned about the Rorate Mass which was celebrated early that morning at St. Stephen’s.
After shooting practice, we drove down the road to Prairie City Landing in Folsom to sing Christmas Carols at a senior center. Lt. Pratt arranged 10 traditional Christmas Carols for the cadets to sing, accompanied by instrumentals that were played in the background on a blue tooth speaker to help keep us in rhythm. Once caroling was finished, we grabbed an early dinner and then took a tour of the Christmas light decorations on Pebble Creek Drive in Rocklin.
