\"\"<\/a>With 42 in our party, this was the largest contingent of Dartfordians to attend the National Scout Rifle Championships at NSRA Bisley.\u00a0 In our 6 years of consecutive attendance, this year was the first where we’ve\u00a0had to contend with swamp conditions.\u00a0 However, the rain and\u00a0mud did nothing to dampen our efforts as our Scouts performed well in their events, especially those who recently qualified in the NSRA YPS scheme who were able to put in to practice, under tournament conditions,\u00a0all they had learnt.<\/p>\n

Some of Dartford’s competitors did exceptionally well, having come\u00a0in the top 20 Nationally and deserve\u00a0special mention and they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s worth noting that ALL<\/strong><\/span> of the young folk named above are NSAR YPS<\/strong> accredited, which goes to show that with the correct training\u00a0and practice you can achieve good scores.<\/p>\n

As with all camps, none of it’s possible without the leaders and support team who look after the young members whilst they’re away and none more so than Karen and Pauline who ensured there were hot meals and snacks available when our young athletes needed it and Keith and John who arrived on camp early to pitch the tents to ensure kit could be stowed in the dry and Neil for loading the van whilst we were still shooting.\u00a0 Thank You very much!<\/p>\n

If you want to be considered for\u00a0the 2013 team, you’ll need to be practiced and focused as we’ll be selecting on merit – Shoot in the black and we’ll invite you back \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
