Scoutmasters Merit Badge

The Scoutmaster Merit Badge is a fun way for adult leaders to participate in the camp program. Typically, requirements include participating in adult training and competitions, assisting with merit badge program delivery, and taking daily afternoon naps. Requirements are reviewed during Monday’s leaders meeting.

Shotgun 5-Stand Clay Shoot

5-Stand shoots are a form of sporting clays offering the shooter a wide variety of shots simulating those found in hunting upland birds, waterfowl, and rabbits.

It is an intermediate shotgun skills game. Our course utilizes five shooting stations on our shotgun range & six throwers to create a variety of shoot combinations, but eliminates the walking around the full clays course. Each of the stations has two traps throwing clay pigeons, to provide an exciting and challenging shot gunning experience. Both single and double targets are presented. Participants will get 5 shots from each of the 5 stations.

  • Open to adult leaders & Scouts who have earned the Shotgun Shooting merit badge
  • Friday afternoons from 3:30 pm -5:00 pm
  • Shoots will be held for a minimum of 5 shooters & are limited to 20 per shoot. ​
  • The shotgun area is located across Boy Scout Camp Road from the camp entrance.
  • A ticket must be purchased from the office manager in the Headquarters Building prior to noon on the day of each shoot.
  • The Waldrep Sporting Clays course & the 5-Stand are also open to units during the off-season, under the supervision of the Cherokee Rangemasters. Details and dates will be shared during a summer camp leader’s meeting, as well as on the ONSC website.
