Important

Since this is an official BSA event, please make sure to have your health forms filled out and remember to bring them with you as they are quite strict with these. There is also an optional BB Device permission form to complete and bring should your Scout participate. Please note Cub Scout Lions are not eligible to participate in shooting activities, however, they will be able to enjoy the archery range. I recommend you keep copies of these forms for future events so you do not have to complete them again.
