Venture Blaze Away Day a Hit!
On August 23, thirty-three Ventures from crews throughout the Council gathered at Beaverbrook Sportsmen’s Club in East Bethel to learn about and shoot large caliber rifles, pistols and shotguns. Venture Crew 410 and Ten Ring, a Minnesota non-profit corporation and Chartered Partner sponsored the event. All staff were trained Scouters. Traditional paper targets were non-existent! Instead clay birds, balloons, water bottles and other such fare were the targets of choice. Also the ventures using small-bore rifles had the opportunity to challenge each other with “Dueling Posts.” After the rifles and some trap shooting they moved on to handguns using 38 caliber double action revolvers for shooting at bowling pins trying for that one shot “Strike”; then with a 38 Single Action Army type pistols they attempted to shoot a Cowboy Action match with a “Nevada Sweep” on some steel targets. (That’s Cowboy lingo, Pilgrim) Then time being what it was we all migrated to the BBQ for some burgers, dogs and beans.

Boy Scouts do you have an incomplete Merit Badge in Archery, Shotgun or Rifle? Would you like to earn one of those Merit Badges? How would you like to complete, or do it, for FREE and have a a good time doing it? We are planning to offer classes where you can complete a Merit Badge or two or all three.
