Shooting Sports with Scouts – April 24th, April 25th, May 1st — Be sure to Register Online
Open to Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturing Units!
Grab your friends and join District P for a fun, COVID friendly day outdoors! You will get to test your aim at a sling shot range, channel your inner Hawkeye at the archery range, sharpen your Scout skills with some knot tying (and leave with the supplies to make a survival bracelet!), and participate in the Cub Scout BB gun range, or the Scouts, BSA rifle range! All Scouts who bring a non-Scout friend will get to choose from one of two pieces of gear! Thanks to a generous grant this event is free to all participants but due to COVID restrictions space is limited so make sure to sign up early! No walk-ins will be able to be accepted at the Event.
All participants must verify they do not have COVID symptoms and will need to turn in a Shooting Sports Waiver. If a youth is being dropped off by their parent/guardian we will have waivers available to be signed at the event, if a youth is being dropped off by another adult please print and sign the form in advance to send with them.
If you are a parent/guardian who plans to hang out while your youth is participating, or if you are just an adult who would like to volunteer, we could use your help! You can sign up for a volunteer shift at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d49a4aa23a57-shooting.
You do not need to bring a friend to attend these events, but you only get the recruiter gear if you bring a friend! If the “Scout Friends” slots are not filled by April 17th, we will open them up for current members. The dates, times and locations are as follows:
