HELP

For those with past volunteer experience working with "Kids" in Scouts, schools, coaching a sport, etc.

If you think you might be interested in helping "new" hunters or boaters of all ages get involved with our favorite sports, the Chillicothe Sportsmen’s Club Safety Education Team would like to talk to you. Your participation on our State Certified team of volunteers would help new students safely and ethically become involved in hunting and boating, and also help insure that the privilege to participate in these sports remains available to future generations.

For further information about the requirements for becoming an instructor, please contact Lowell Bennett, 309-274-5586 or lbennett@mtco.com.
