Recon: military slang, US
short for reconnaissance
In military operations, reconnaissance is the exploration beyond an area occupied by friendly forces to gain information about features or activities.

In Battalion,  recon focuses on our preparation for battle.

We're not battling against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 Paraphrased)

In BATTALION, most of life is ahead of us - we are young men preparing to take on the world.
But are we truly READY?

LET'S GET TOGETHER and take advantage of the wisdom God has provided through Dr Chuck Stecker. As a retired Colonel in the US Army Rangers, he knows a little about preparation for battle. As a pastor and sought-after speaker to men of all generations, he knows a lot about the spiritual battles that we all must face. As a man firmly connected to Christian Service Brigade and its inter-generational mission, he knows what we are all about.

We will play some AirSoft,
learn a skill or two,
eat some dogs and burgers,
and then conclude with some dessert
as we talk with Dr Chuck.
Cost: Free (just get yourself there)

SATURDAY, JUNE 22, Park GATE for Eagle Mountain Park
at the top of Eagle Mountain Dr (just before the BC Hydro Meridian Substation gate). We park along the road.

This will be a loose and informal time of fellowship. It is sponsored by the CSB Area Committee, so there is no cost. Email Howard to let him know how many will be attending with your Battalion.

This is a Men-Only event (12 years old and up) open to all the CSB Battalions in British Columbia.
