Young Riflemen

Young riflemen at the Valkininkai branch of Varėnos r. “Merkio” gimnazija learn first aid, map reading and orienteering, drill, safe handling of air guns and outdoor survival, and they hold camps and the district competition “Sportiškas šaulys”. Activities follow the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union four-level program, and during school breaks the young riflemen go on hikes and to camps. Taking part is free: fill in the “Tapk jaunuoju šauliu” form at sauliusajunga.lt or contact the club leader; you become a young rifleman by taking the pledge.
