Target Sports Warrington East AST

Who are we?

We are a Scouts Active Support Team, that provides target sports activities to Scouts and Explorers in Warrington East.

What do we do?

We aim to provide Scouts and Explorers the opportunity to experience a wide variety of target sports. We currently provide air rifle and air pistol shooting, as well as archery and crossbow experiences. This can be as a one-off event, coming along to our club nights or as a regular attendee.

If the troop or unit is large enough, we can arrange specific events or support you on a camp or activity event.

For those who attend the club nights regularly we run a program that will allow Scouts to gain their Master at Arms badge and Explorers their Physical Recreation badge.

Where do we do it?

We have a multi disciplined team that run activities at 4 locations across the district:

Glazebury Scout HQ- Air Rifle and Air Pistol Shooting
Grappenhall Scout HQ – Archery
Thellwall Scout HQ – Air Rifle and Air Pistol Shooting
The Oaks, Culcheth – Outdoor shooting & archery
Culcheth Scout HQ – a indoor Archery
