    If any NRA RSOs would like to volunteer to help watch the range, it would be appreciated. A pm would work. This would be in the Annapolis area. Schedules permitting.

    Is their a minimum age for scouts to earn this badge? If you are able to put this together and open it up to troops across the state, I would be interested in making the hike with my son.

    Qbeam,
    You said you were working Camp Tomahawk and admittedly I had not heard of this camp so I searched it and found it is a Cub Scout Day Camp in AA County. Is this where you're looking to do Rifle Shooting MB?

    Nope, I'll be doing range work at AAF&G (Anne Arundel Fish and Game), and the classroom portion can/will be arranged. Trust me, no cubs. This is a scout oriented endeavor. They made me get the rifle and shotgun instructor rating before going to camp school, so may as well put them to use. I am also contemplating helping partials on the blue cards as well in the BAC area (Don't know if a counselor can cross councils) . Kids having to wait until next camp seems unfair.

    I was a MB Councillor for Rifle & Shotgun Shooting back in the '80s . ( Back then it was one MB , with option of qualifying with Rifle OR Shotgun .)

    Bigfoot, did they have the restrictions on rifles? Funny how on shotguns, you can have semi auto, but not on rifles....

    Don't think I still have a vintage MB book, but don't recall any semi's being used . The whole thing was different back then .
