Procedure for New Membership:

The registration process is completed online. Applicants wishing to apply should register for orientation. If the club is accepting new members, you will find all scheduled orientation events here.  No registrations will be accepted in person or via email.

All new members are encouraged to join the National Rifle Association and maintain an active NRA membership. We recommend you sign up with the NRA for a multi-year membership. If you are not an NRA member you can purchase a membership (at a discount) through SCCS&FA by clicking here.  

All new memberships are contingent upon approval by the Executive Board of Directors. All memberships are valid from October 1 to September 30 of each year. Renewals will not be accepted after September 15th.
