Cub Scouts learn weapon safety tips

MADISON CO. Tenn. —Scouts learn important safety tips.

Today, some Cub Scouts had the chance to learn some tips about weapon safety.

Several Cub Scouts in the West Tennessee area learned how to safely use BB guns, and bow and arrows.

The group does this to give kids aging from kindergarten through fifth grade, the opportunity to be safe and learn the rules of firearms and projectile weapons.

The activity went on for around two or three hours. The Cub Scouts received some instruction time before they had the chance to hit the range.

“So that’s really the point of it, is to teach them the safety and let them enjoy it and have a good time. And learn a lot about what it takes to have a firearm or bow and arrow and archery and everything else,” said Adrian Hackett, Scout Executive, West TN Area Council.
