    DESCRIPTION

    Designed to capture the interests of a wide range of young men and boys, the SSAC is a creative and exciting program where discipline and self-control is celebrated, and where the mentoring mission of Royal Rangers can be fully incorporated. Interactive and lasting friendships, fun activities, and fulfilling advancement plans based on Royal Rangers merit guidelines provide boys with the opportunity to develop their shooting skills by participating in a variety of shooting sports disciplines. The challenge of individual and team competition extends from the Outpost to National Championships.

    The program disciplines currently include:

    • BB Gun
    • Air Rifle
    • Archery
    • Small Bore / .22 Caliber Rifle
    • Shotgun / Trap Shooting
    • Black Powder Rifle

    You have to complete AJTC before camp.

    Instruction is based on the silver Small bore Safety and Shotgun Safety merits; National Rifle Association (NRA) Basic Shooting Course(s) under the direction of an NRA-certified instructor and WI Hunter Ed.
