There is NO instruction given in this program. Scouts must have earned the Rifle Shooting Merit Badge prior to participating in this program.

Each rating level has a skill rocker award that recognizes and highlights the achievement, Pro-Marksman through Expert. Patches are available for purchase at the Trading Post for between $2.00 and $4.00 depending on the skill level. This program will take place at the Parnell Rifle Range.

Beaver Day is designed for volunteers to come to Boxwell for a day of readying the Reservation for summer camp. Units who are scheduled to come to camp this summer, as well as all others, should come and put some sweat equity into your camp. Bring your friends, neighbor, coworkers, union (projects are available during the week and additional weekends if needed), whomever. Volunteers are needed for these special work days as we strive to make Boxwell Scout Reservation the premier scout camp in the Southern Region. There are projects in painting, wiring, plumbing, shoveling, carpentry, cleaning, etc. Bring your own tools or use what we have available. If you can t come for the whole day, come for part of the day!! Boxwell will provide all the materials, a wonderful lunch and a special patch for each volunteer (youth, adult or parent.) Lunch will be provided for those who respond to the Scout office no later than 7 days before the Beaver Day they will be attending. Pass along copies of this flyer to other Scouters. We sure can use your help!!! See you on April 9 Please RSVP to Carl Adkins at cadkins@mtcbsa.org with estimated number of participates and unit type and number
