BOY SCOUTS feeling the pain of the Ammo Shortage.

(1/7) > >>

NE Bull:
You all might have seen the article in the local paper or news site about the Scouts looking for .22 ammo.
I for one can vouch for this. Our council is also afraid what we might not have enough .22LR to make it through summer camps. So, to be honest, fair, trustworthy, etc. I will direct anyone that might have hoarded a little above their means, to contact their local BSA Council. The Mid America Council is based out of Omaha and consists of the NE Nebraska/ W. Iowa area, and the Cornhusker Council is the SE part of the state based in Lincoln (?) I am not familiar with any other Councils with in the state.
 As a member of the Mid America Council Shooting Sports Committee, anyone willing to help out in that regard is more than welcome to contact myself here, through PM or Email.  As I travel between Omaha and Lincoln at least twice weekly I could make arrangements to pick up any donations.
I will get the contact info for the Cornhusker Council and post when I do.

Thanx.

What types of ammo are they looking for? In what quantity's?

NE Bull:
My bad. .22LR mostly, I think everyone will be ok with shotshells.
Edited above.

Husker_Fan:
Can I just drop it off at the council HQ? I don't have much. In fact I haven't bought any in the last six months. I do however have a Federal value box I can part with.

Thanks for volunteering to help out like that.  I'm a former asst Scoutmaster and father of an Eagle Scout.  Shooting sports are one of the boys' favorite activities at summer camp.  It would be a tragedy if they had to cut back on that.  Wish I had something to donate.
