The Ten Ring volunteers have helped organize the following Scouting events:
Venture Voyage
This event is designed for Venturing youth and adult participants to compete in various fun outdoor skills and shooting sports for a team score. If you're interested in organizing something similar, we may be able to help with some event Resources.
Clayfest
Boy Scout and adult participants compete in a round of trap and a round of sporting clays or skeet. The event is held annually at a local gun club.
Trailblazer
This event is an introduction for Boy Scouts to all shooting sports activities. All youth will receive instruction and get the opportunity to try rifle and shotgun shooting, black powder rifle, tomahawk tossing, action and field archery and BB guns. Stations also include fishing, wildlife and trapping related information and activities. Visit www trailblazeradventure.org
District and Unit Range Events
The Shooting Sports Committee is documenting events that were previously Council events and packaging and demonstrating them for District events. Webelos Rendezvous and Schutzenfest have guidelines, operations and budget information that may help you design your event. The Council events are not limited to the Council. Districts and Units are welcome to conduct their own events. You may download these packages from this site under the Resources tab.
Northern Star Council ranges are available for District and Unit events. Please schedule through the Reservation Desk. Please remember that all camp range activities are at the convenience and discretion of the camp Ranger.
Northern Star Council does not provide required range personal for Unit and District events. Northern Star Shooting offers the required courses for individuals. Successfully completing these courses will certify an them as a Range Officer and/or Instructor.
Webelos Rendezvous
Webelos Rendezvous is an event that focuses on the BB Gun and Archery shooting skills, using the Sports and Academic program as its guide. Through this quality time to work on skills, most boys should achieve the sports pin recognition. In addition, fun can be had with slingshots and other recreational type activities.
Schutzenfest
This event is an introduction to all shooting sports activities. All youth will receive instruction and get the opportunity to try rifle and shotgun shooting, black powder rifle, tomahawk tossing, action and field archery, and BB guns.
Rifle Merit Badge

Everything you need will be provided. We'll start at 8 AM on May 1st and 2nd, 2010 and will work on all requirements as needed. Please choose the day you want and sign up.
A voluntary donation of $3.00 to cover the targets and ammunition is suggested but NOT required. We are again reminding you to Do a Good Turn Daily—and if you can please bring a food item for donation to the local food shelf.
