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 Scouts BSA 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.

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 a Guns ‘n Grillin’ event with other activities such as large-scale pioneering projects and more!
