Camp Avondale is pleased to announce that participants in the ShootingSports Program will earn their Merit Badges in the brand new Archery, Rifle, and Shotgun ranges. These ranges are staffed and supervised by BSA National Camp School and National Rifle Association Certified Instructors. On each range, a Scout can expect to learn safety and responsibility along with the knowledge, history, and techniques about each shooting sport category. During each week of camp, Scouts and Leaders will have opportunities for advancement, recreation, and competitive shooting. We recommend Scouts attempting the meritbadge courses are at least 13 years of age. All three merit badges can be completed at camp, but extra practice time may be required to qualify. Please take note that the Shotgun course lasts two periods.
