Northwoods is proud of its shooting sports area. The range is supervised by a BSA National Camp School certified adult. It is important that both Scouts and Scouters keep in mind that shooting may only take place when the adult-trained supervisor is present. Be certain to read and follow all of the posted rules. Shotgun ammunition must be purchased at camp. ATTENTION! SHOOTING SPORTS Anyone who desires to bring their own firearm to camp is required to have a safety inspection done on the firearm by a licensed gunsmith and bring a completed copy of the SAFETY INSPECTION form with them to camp. Rifles must meet the requirements of the BSA, single-shot bolt-action .22 rimfire only. Shotguns must be either 12 or 20 gauge. Please do not bring any other gauge shotguns to camp! We will not be able to give you permission to use them.
