The Central Washington Chapter of Safari Club International is a local organization with International backing. We are committed to the conservation of wildlife and wildlife habitat and to educating the public about such matters.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation and education organization dedicated to conserving wildlife and protecting the rights and interests of the hunter.

Formed in May of 1997, we have grown into an organization that has completed various local conservation and education projects and also participates in many ongoing programs such as Sportsman Against Hunger and the American Wilderness Leadership School (AWLS).

70% of the net proceeds from our annual fundraiser stays with the Chapter and 30% goes to SCI. All of the proceeds are used to support local, state and national conservation, education, humanitarian and pro-hunting governmental affairs programs.

SCI Hunter's Code of Ethics

Recognizing my responsibilities to wildlife, habitat and future generations, I pledge:

To conduct myself in the field so as to make a positive contribution to wildlife and ecosystems.

To improve my skills as a woodsman and marksman to ensure humane harvesting of wildlife.

To comply with all game laws, in the spirit of Fair Chase, and to influence my companions accordingly.

To accept my responsibility to provide all possible assistance to game law enforcement officers.

To waste no opportunity to teach young people the full meaning of this code of ethics.

To reflect in word and behavior only credit upon the fraternity of sportsmen, and to demonstrate abiding respect for game, habitat and property where I am privileged to hunt.
