Juliette Lowe stated in the original Girl Scout handbook that girls should know how to handle a rifle so that they could help sustain their families. Times have certainly changed, and shooting is now done mostly for sport. Why teach shooting sports? Good shooting requires learning positive traits such as patience, determination, focus, attention to detail, and persistence. Since these skills are likewise key elements of leadership, we encourage our girls to take what they learn from any sport or activity in Girl Scouting and apply it to their participation in their communities and the world. There are a variety of styles and sizes of firearms. The ones the girls will be learning about are expressly purposed to hit a target. Anytime you are involved in a shooting sport, it is all about SAFETY, SAFETY first, last and always. The trainers from the OKC Gun Club will join us for the day to make sure we do stay safe and have a great time. Lunch will be hamburgers and hot dogs grilled out at the range.
