The January campout is an outing to Camp Lumpkin on the shores of West Point Lake. This is a 1-night camping trip. Scouts and adults can participate in shotgun, rifle, and archery led by BSA instructors at the camp's ranges.  We also have a throwing sports station to throw knives and Tomahawks. And there is a huge field for games. Lots to do!! And star viewing at night.

By the time registration closes, we will have final confirmation on the shooting sports that will be offered. Credit will be issued if any of the activities will not be available. 

Scouts can work on the Shooting Sports Merit Badge during this campout. Click on each of these links to access the merit badge books for Rifle, Shotgun, and Archery. Reading through and understanding the sports you will be participating in will give you an edge during the weekend and you will learn much more!
