Please the following message from Mr. Hudson,

Leaders:

The council is putting on a NRA Shotgun Instructor’s course the weekend of April 20th at Camp Bob Hardin.

I just found out that they are in need of two more participants. I believe the course runs $72 which is a very good price for this course. Includes your meals and lodging.

If interested, please let me know. It sure would be nice to have a couple other leaders certified for this Merit Badge. As of now this troop does very little in the way of shooting events.

For those in law enforcement, a gun is NOT a weapon per BSA policy!

Let’s go shooting!

Yes, the rumor is true. I’m certified as a NRA Rifle Instructor and a Range Safety Officer. Sure would like to add Shotgun and Pistol to my resume! Funny thing is the Instructor can not act in dual capacity (ie. Range Safety Officer) so it does take two to run a shooting event! I know at least one other leader is a certified Pistol Instructor but Boy Scouts can’t shoot pistols only Rifles and Shotguns!
