![[BADGE]](../art/2590.gif)
| Introduction | Your challenge as a summer camp merit badge counselor is to see that the Scouts who attend your session have the best opportunity to learn about rifle shooting. It is important that they have a positive experience. This lesson plan is designed to help you plan a logical, high quality program experience. You may have to use a slightly different approach in presenting the material based on your camp resources and facilities. |
| Resources | Be sure to utilize all the resources available to you. State and federal agencies or other organizations, such as the National Rifle Association or shooting clubs, can provide you with a variety of materials and support to help you deliver the Rifle Shooting merit badge program. |
