SKYMONT - Rifle Shooting/Shotgun/Archery

Troop

Message:

If you are going to Skymont and are taking Rifle Shooting / Shotgun / Archery merit badge(s) - a good portion of the merit badge involves details and documentation paperwork to understand the details of the sport. You can make life easier on yourself if you print out the packet, work on documenting the needed information in the comfort of your own home with good access to the interwebs, and BRING the mostly completed packet with you to camp.

NOTE - While these packets were specifically developed for Woodruff, the requirements for the merit badges do not change from camp to camp so the information is the same.

They will review and go over in class, but this will put you WELL ahead and give you more time to run aimlessly through the woods at camp.
