This merit badge course is taught by experts, with leadership given by the Missouri Department of Conservation outdoor specialist and agents. There is no cost to attend this class due to community sponsorship, but space is limited to the first 15 Scouts who are at least age 13.  Parents who attend the Saturday session are welcome to stay and help with our Sporting Clays Shoot or the merit badge session. Scouts…review the Shotgun merit badge booklet BEFORE the class and be sure to bring the book to the class, along with a notepad and pen.

NOTE: Scouts need to bring 3 boxes of # 8 shot ammo for their shotgun. If they need a gun, bring 20 ga. #8 ammo and we have a loaner they can use.
