Thrilled to be back on the range.  With Covid cancelling the last one we haven't done this since 2019!  This is our campout focused on rifle shooting. This is an excellent opportunity for the Scouts to learn about gun safety, proper gun handling, the different parts of a firearm, and to sharpen their marksmanship skills.  Our very own Mr. Reed will be supporting this campout (I believe this may be his 5th time!)

We will be camping and shooting at the Fairfax Rod & Gun Club in Manassas.

During the campout, all Scouts will go through one hour of gun safety training and spend time on an NRA-certified rifle range. We will have an NRA-certified Range Safety Officer with us at all times while on the range.  The scouts will split into two groups after the safety training session.  While half are on the range, the remainder will stay at the camp site and focus on either learning or sharpening their scout skills.

If any adults have either a bolt-action or single-shot .22 rifles, please contact me.  I would like to discuss the possibility of borrowing your rifle for the campout.

The RSVP deadline for this campout is Tuesday's meeting on 3/15.

Please arrive on time and don't forget your permission slip.  We will be departing Trailside promptly at 6:00.
