The Oklahoma Outdoor Expo is a terrific free exposition held annually at the Lazy E Ranch near Guthrie. Activities and demonstrations include air rifle, backpacking, all sorts of hunting and fishing demonstrations, a big air dog leap contest and many outdoor challenges. It’s all free!

Probably the most popular demonstration is Kayaking. A pond is built inside the Lazy E arena to introduce the public to this fun sport.
Matt Woodson with the Chesapeake Boathouse is organizing this event. He needs assistance from Venturers and Scouts helping put on life vests, assisting folks getting in and out of the kayaks and working in the pool. This may be the neatest volunteer job at the Expo.
Troops and Crews show up each year to help in several areas. Camping sites are available. Troop 850 and Crew 2850 have been there every year to help.
Pass this along to your crews and troops. Let’s see if we can give back a little for all the help the Chesapeake Boathouse does for Scouting. Here’s Matt’s contact information.
