      Shooting Sports programs changes coming 9/1/24 - including name change Range and Target Activities

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      https://www.nrainstructors.org/search.aspx Note the Search at bottom For NRA FIRST Steps Pistol, BSA Only or Youth Only, All Available, I found no courses in 6 New England states. Course availability needs to be examined further. There are fewer NRA/BSA instructors and some courses have a limited demand.

      Of course. That's how I got several boyfriends, including this last one that I married and had a cub scout with. I've also supported him financially when he was unemployed. He supported me when I was unemployed. That's how partnership works. In fact, that's in general how I expected to find a partner based on adults' how-we-met stories, movies, TV, etc. You become friends, you hang out, enjoy each other's company, and if there's mutual romantic interest see if it could go somewhere... if you dare. The risk is always ruining a good friendship.  I had a crush on one of the boys in my patrol, but I couldn't tell if he was interested in me like that and didn't want to risk awkward patrol dynamics or even having to leave so I never did anything with that.   I'm assuming there's some kind of bound on this statement? Surely you don't mean that every man on this forum is focused on getting the female scouters' attention, or that men can't get any work done in mixed-gender workplaces because their focus goes to getting the women's attention.  I have heard people say that boys need a girl-free space here and in other places on the Internet, and I'm a woman so clearly men do admit it to women. Men post it for all to see, including girls and women. It's an opinion that's around in the media landscape. Current boys don't have to admit it to current girls in order for the idea to swirl around. And the idea wasn't swirling around when I was a scout, at least not where I was.

      2022 National Shooting Sports Manual (298 pages) www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/Shooting-Sports IMHO, there should be separate manuals for Archery and Firearms. Regarding program name change "Range and Target Activities", will that include horseshoes, cornhole, beanbag toss, pumpkin chunking?
