Cub Scout
Range Master Training
Shooting Sports are one of the most popular activities at any Cub Scout event. A Cub event that includes shooting sports is considered a Council event, and the ranges must be operated according to national standards. HOVC is holding a Range Master Class on October 3rd at 1:00 PM. This event is free of charge. Please bring a water bottle! [Register]
