Shooting Sports Weekend!

Come for a weekend packed with target and range sports activities. Our expert instructors will teach you the skills to be safe and successful and have fun doing it. Units will be camping over two nights, giving their scouts more camping and cooking experience, as well. 

NEW THIS YEAR: We are using a lottery system. Registration is by unit only. Register any time between Monday, February 5, at 9:00 AM and Sunday, February 11, at 5:00 PM. Only one entry per unit. After the lottery registration period closes, all units will be entered into the lottery and winners will be drawn. Unit registration contacts will be notified whether their unit has won the lottery on Monday, February 12. For units that win the lottery, payment must be made to the Council by Monday, February 19, or the spots will be given to the next unit in the lottery. Units that do not win the lottery will remain on the waitlist. Registration is capped at 10 youth per unit until there are no more units on the waiting list.

This event is for Scouts BSA and Venturing and is different from the Cub Scout Shooting Sports Day.
