September 7th Youth Hunter Education Course
Local Information
We've added 5 seats to the class, however I will not have enough manuals to provide for those who sign up at the last minute. You will still be able to take the exam and so please register your youth with this in mind. The limit will stop at 35 due to room limitations.
This course is offered locally by Shawn Shreves who is Texas Certified Hunter Education instructor as well as one of the regional shooting sports directors for the Boy Scouts Buffalo Trail Council. I offer this course to provide a classroom only opportunity for youth here in west Texas. The student MUST be 9 years old as of the date of the class. Parents or other guardians of the youth may also attend the class with the youth.
The location of the training will be at Redeemer Church Youth Center "The Outpost" which is located at 3501 N Lamesa Rd close to Wadley and across the street from Hogan Park. Please bring something to drink and I normally have a few snacks and extra bottles of water as well.
Youth Protection
– The instructor is certified through the Boy Scouts with a current youth protection training and a background check as part of being a camp counselor for summer and winter camps.
Other adults who are not involved with the attending youth should seek certification through the Texas Parks and Wildlife agency.
The course is scheduled for 6 hours (9-3) allowing for ample time to cover the required materials and taking the test. A score of 75% is required to pass the class. We encourage adults to stay and listen (and help with test application and scoring). I do allow students to stay without a parent, as long as there are at least 2 other adults who will stay during the class to allow a 2-deep safe environment for the scouts.
If one of the students has special needs, I am glad to help accommodate them, however I would request the parent/guardian stay and help with any needs the student may have.
If you have any questions, you may e-mail me at shawn@shreves.org .
The cost is $15 cash at the start of the class. This is a required fee that I am required to charge by the state. Five dollars goes back to the state for the materials supplied and I use the rest to cover my cost for other materials and supplies.
The course outline and slide show are available at these links below. You DO NOT need to print them as I will have this material in class.
