Treasure Valley Chapter-SCI is strongly committed to preserving our right to hunt and carrying on our long hunting heritage in Idaho. We donate our time and financial resources to projects designed to help in areas of conservation, education, humanitarian assistance, young people and political influence.
The purpose of Treasure Valley Chapter-SCI is to increase the popularity of our common hunting interests. As our membership continues to grow and expand our ability to do more for Idaho sportsmen and women will also grow. We have fun while we are together and working on conservation, education and humanitarian projects. By developing relationships and friendships, the TVC-SCI will become even stronger.
