SCPF’s Youth Programs are dedicated to introducing youth to hunting, shooting sports and outdoor conservation through youth events, education, community service and cooperation with both governmental and non-governmental partnerships. Through a variety of programs, youth will gain knowledge, learn skills and develop a land ethic necessary to be responsible hunters and conservationists. As they grow up, they can in turn pass on the outdoor traditions of their youth to future generations.

On Thursday, June 18, 2009 SCPF is hosting it’s annual Youth Shoot at the Albany Sportsman's Club.  Young people interested in hunting and in habitat will have a chance to shoot a round of trap, skeet, 5 stand and archery under the supervision of local experts.

All youth ages 12-17 are welcome to attend.  The free event starts at 5:00 p.m. and goes until dusk.

Stearns County Chapter of Pheasants Forever
If by chance you're not familiar with the Stearns County Chapter of Pheasants Forever, be sure read up about us on the Chapter History page. If you're not familiar with the Pheasants Forever organization, be sure to check out the organization's national website at www.pheasantsforever.org or the Minnesota Pheasants Forever website at www.minnesota.pheasantsforever.org. Pheasants Forever (PF), and its quail branch, Quail Forever (QF) are national conservation organizations "dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail, and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education, and land management policies and programs." Note how there is no reference to hunting our mission statement. PF/QF is not centered around hunting as many may believe. Nor is it focused solely on pheasant or quail conservation. PF/QF is an all-around conservation organization dedicated to the conservation of all wildlife and their habitats.

How do we operate? PF/QF is unique in that it allows local chapters such as ours to keep 100% of the money we raise and spend it locally on conservation efforts right here in our own community. Thus, every dime we raise at our banquet and from every fundraiser we have throughout the year is spent right here in Central Minnesota on valuable habitat and conservation education efforts. No other national conservation organization operates under such a truly grassroots structure. That local control of money we raise right here in Stearns County has allowed us to do some pretty amazing things.

Our goal for this website is to bring you the best, most up to date news on upcoming events and conservation projects as well as educate our site visitors on the conservation needs of Stearns County and surrounding area. Be sure to check back regularly for updates.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for our website, let us know.
