If you have loved past programs that have been brought to you by Pipsico, then you will surely love this one! This weekend is designed to provide Boy Scout Troops, Venture Crews, and Sea Scout Ships with an exciting weekend filled with the best outdoor programs the Boy Scouts of America has to offer.
NEW for this year, we are implementing through a grant from the Virginia DWR, some additional Pipsico Awesome activities to include Sporting Arrows, Black Powder Rifle, and also 3D- Archery. All of these in addition to the typical events of.22 rifle, shotgun, target archery, BB’s, Sling Shots, and more. Units/individuals who wish may purchase tickets to shoot shotgun by adding them to the individual registration online through Black Pug. NO onsite tickets can be purchased.
This weekend will combine the most exciting shooting sports activities that are normally offered at the Fall Guns ‘n Grillin’ event with other activities such as large scale pioneering projects, canoeing, and much more!
This weekend is designed to provide these unique programs, normally only available to units at summer camp or at outside facilities, to units on a weekend camping experience. Units are encouraged to develop their own organizational structure using the patrol method and practice outdoor camping skills outside of the scheduled program times.
Lunch will be provided on Saturday only. All other meals should be planned and prepared for by the individual units. Water will be available in all campsites.
Scouts who meet Venturing membership criteria (young men and women who are 14 years of age and under 21 years of age) are eligible to buy into upgraded shooting experiences with higher caliber rifles. This is designed as an effort to demonstrate some of the more advanced and exciting activities that Venture Crew members are eligible to participate in. Information on how participants can join existing Venture Crews or start their own will be available with the volunteers that run this station.
