Camp Workcoeman is one of a select few camps that participates in the Boy Scouts of America's Summer Camp Pistol Shooting Program. The program is open to all Scouts who are at least 13 and have completed the eighth grade. Scouts will receive a safety briefing and instruction followed by the opportunity to earn various pistol marksmanship qualifications. Due to the low instructor to shooter ratio, space is extremely limited.
