Annually, the Greater St. Louis Area Council hosts several “Special Events” to help drive funding and networking through active participation by local business and community leaders. These include The Sporting Clays Classic and The Southern Illinois Bass Tournament.
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BASS TOURNAMENT
On May 14-15, 2011 nearly 200 competitive teams fished Crab Orchard Lake in Southern Illinois for the elusive "big bass." More than $4,500 were raised to benefit the Scouting programs of the Greater St. Louis Area Council. A special thanks is owed to the Crab Orchard Lake Bass Club who for the 37th year, hosted, organized, and executed a fantastic event.
The 2012 event will be held on May 12-13.
SPORTING CLAYS CLASSIC
On June 10, 2011 70 shooters competed in teams of four for the Hager Cup travelling trophy. A 12-station course at Strathalbyn Farms in Weldon Spring, Missouri was the site for the event. The tournament and auction raised more than $40,000 in support of the Council. Led by Executive Board Member, Steven Busch, we are grateful for the help and direction received from he and the rest of the committee: David Helms, Chris Hyams, Gerard Mudd, David Pollnow, Andy Spann, and Fred Schwarz.
The 2012 will be held on June 15, 2012.
