Young Riflemen

Žemaitijos kadetų gimnazija in Alsėdžiai hosts a Young Riflemen club of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union, with a junior group (ages 11–15) and a senior group (ages 16–19). Following a four-stage program, they learn wilderness survival, first aid, topography and orienteering, drill and safe weapon handling (shooting with laser and air rifles), and there are hikes, camps and celebrations of national holidays. Students aged 11–18 can become Young Riflemen, and activities are free; to join, fill in the “Tapk jaunuoju šauliu” form at sauliusajunga.lt, submit documents and take the young rifleman's pledge.
