Prospective Scouts will have the option to join the event Saturday and participate in all activities. Due to Scouting America policy rules, youth interested in joining scouting are allowed to attend for the day but are not allowed to camp overnight.

Packs can sign up for time slots at each range. Individual rounds are 30 minutes each. Each round can hold up to 16 participants per range. Packs who want to do all three ranges will sign up for three separate time slots. There will be a limit of two back-to-back time slots per Pack.

There will be two timed sessions: 9am - 12pm and 1pm - 4pm. After 4pm will be open shoot, first come first served, for 1 hour. Packs can get more shooting time if your pack teaches the basics of shooting safety at their Pack meeting before the event. Refer to the Scouting America lesson plans for Cub Scout Range and Target Activities. https://www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/range-activities/cub-scout-shooting-sports/

If Packs do not hold preliminary instruction, there will be mandatory instruction before any Cub can shoot.
