Shooting Sports
Shooting Sports has long been part of the Boy Scouts. Starting when you were a Tiger Cub at Fall Fun Day, you were shooting BB's and Arrows. In the past we would award BB and Archery Belt Loops as one of your first awards. Those easy to earn belt loops were replaced with the BSA Shooting Sports Pins. These three pins for BB, Archery and Sling Shot are harder to earn, require more shooting and focus on safety and fundamentals. Most of you have earned at least one of these pins by attending day camp or resident camp. We will be trying something new this winter, a night of shooting at the indoor range at Camp Guyasuta just across the river from the Pittsburgh Zoo. Next year, you will be able to shoot .22 Rifles at resident camp.
