Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. These primary missions are supported through the many arenas of the organization.

Advocate: Since 2000, SCI has spent $140 million on protecting the freedom to hunt through policy advocacy, litigation, and education for federal and state legislators to ensure hunting is protected for future generations. Through direct involvement and partnerships with like-minded organizations, SCI has become a political force in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals.

Connect: When you become a member of SCI, you join a network of over 55,000 like-minded individuals all over the world. SCI members make a difference through conservation efforts in their communities and voicing their concerns to representatives who take them to the floors of Washington.

Educate: Through our publications, Safari Magazine and Safari Times, we keep you up to date on events and board actions as well, teach you some tips and techniques, and stories about other membersˊ hunting expeditions.

Represent: SCI members help shape and promote the image of the hunter to non-hunters through their words and actions. In addition to practicing ethical hunting while in the field and around others, members can give back by participating in humanitarian efforts taking place across the globe through the affiliated charitable organization, Safari Club International Foundation.

SAFARI CLUB GREAT FALLS

The Great Falls Chapter SCI was stablished in 2001 and our main purpose is to promote conservation and the right to hunt. We are currently the second largest chapter in the world for SCI. The chapter has a board of 11 volunteers and we hold four membership meetings a year as well as an annual Banquet and Fundraiser. The banquet is held on the second Saturday of March with an attendance between 350 and 400. We have grossed over $5 million since we started and over $1.9 million has been used for local projects. To learn more about our chapter see Projects We Support.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING SCI – FIRST FOR HUNTERS

Membership Live Auction

Safari Club International is the leading organization protecting all hunter’s rights by actively lobbying at the state, provincial and federal level. We are a non-profit organization that relies solely on our dedicated volunteers, membership fees, fund raising events and charitable contributions to carry out the battle to protect the freedom to hunt. Hunting must not be lost!

We intend to take back the ground lost and fight vigorously to insure your children and grandchildren have the same opportunity to hunt that you did growing up. Every member of SCI is also a conservationist on many levels.

From our membership dollars that go to support SCI Foundation’s global activities and the hundreds of local chapter projects to the support of federal and local game and fish agencies through purchase of licenses and sporting equipment, members of SCI are conservationists of the best kind. The community of SCI hunters promotes strong family values and teaches young hunter’s about hunting and the role hunters play in sustainable wildlife conservation.
