Come Join us at our
12th Annual Midnight Sun Council
Sporting Clays Tournament
on August 5th, 2023 at 8:30 am
This fundraising event benefits the local Boy Scouting program which focus on youth character development, moral and ethical decision making, team building, leadership, adventure, and fun in the outdoors.
Here is the program – Teams of five will rotate through 4 rounds of clays and compete as a team for highest hits. We also plan to hold the annual Annie Oakley individual competition right after a lunch of hamburgers and hotdogs (free for shooters-$10 for spectators).
Continental breakfast, water and coffee provided while supplies last.
Raffle prizes like Shotguns, Alaska Railroad Tickets, Fishing trips and more will be raffled (MUST be present to win).
This is a beneficial venue for us to serve the youth of interior Alaska and teach the values and foundation that the scouting programs provide. We ask that you consider becoming one of our sponsors by filling out the sponsorship form (see below).
We ask that the team sign up form (see below) be filled out with shooters’ names so that we can expedite sign process at the event.
Spectators are welcome to watch from the bleachers or behind the firing lines and are welcome to come out and watch a great day shooting shotguns and a friendly competition.
