OPERATION ON TARGET

Utah National Parks Council
Boy Scouts of America

 


Welcome to this source of information for OPERATION ON TARGET in the Utah National Parks Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This site will be of greatest use to those units from the Utah Valley that are participating in On Target, but it contains valuable information for all On Target participants throughout the Council. This site is maintained by Michael Taylor of Provo, Utah, chairman of Operation On Target for the Utah National Parks Council. I alone am responsible for the information found herein, but this site is approved by and monitored by the Utah National Parks Council. I also encourage all On Target participants to register your unit with the national On Target registry at http://www.ontargetbsa.org. Suggestions and comments are welcomed at mdtaylormd@gmail.com.
