The Broome County Sportsmen's Association has a youth membership of about 50 people. In addition to training and league activities for our young men and women members,
BCSA also provides support facilities for non-BCSA youth who are pursuing Boy Scouts merit badges, plus Boating and Hunter Safety courses.
NRA Junior Rifle - The NRA Junior Rifle Program and the Boy Scouts of America Rifle Shooting Merit Badge will be offered beginning on Thursday, January 12, 2001 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The NRA Junior Rifle Program is open to people 12 years of age and older. This program teaches the fundamentals of shooting and firearm handling. This program will last 6-8 weeks. The program offers plenty of shooting practice. After completion of the NRA Junior Shooting Program, the Rifle Shooting Merit Badge program can be arranged for interested Boy Scouts. Class size is limited so please register early.
