Scouts will spend the day learning about rifle safety, construction and mechanics at the Concord Police Academy range. They will receive classroom and practical instruction on safe shooting, followed by supervised range time. Scouts who do the advance work and successfully meet the shooting accuracy requirements will be able to earn the merit badge.

All necessary equipment will be provided. Parents may stay and watch from a designated area or return at 1:30 for pick up.

This is a Council offering. Register directly with them. Troop 333 is not organizing transportation or providing adult leaders for this activity.
