Safari Club International (SCI) Continues Global Expansion

Safari Club International (SCI) is proud to announce the launch of its latest new chapters that further expand the organization’s worldwide presence and strengthening its role as the leading voice for hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts.

The new chapters: Finger Lakes (NY), Raleigh (NC), Northern New Mexico (NM), Northern Alaska (AK), and internationally France and Germany reflect the passion and commitment of hunters across the globe who are uniting to protect the freedom to hunt and promote sustainable wildlife conservation. These new chapters join the millions of global SCI members and affiliates that stand on the front lines of defending hunting rights.

“Every new chapter brings fresh energy, leadership, and purpose to SCI’s global mission,” said Jeff Meyerl, President of SCI. “With these additions our voices and community grow stronger and they extend our impact. We are excited to welcome these chapters into the SCI family and look forward to the extraordinary work they will do in their regions.”

SCI chapters are the heart of the organization’s grassroots strength. They connect hunters locally while amplifying SCI’s advocacy and conservation efforts nationally and internationally. From engaging in policy discussions and conservation projects to mentoring the next generation of hunters, chapters are essential to SCI’s success.

“Our growth underscores SCI’s leadership in standing First for Hunters,” said W. Laird Hamberlin, CEO of SCI. “These new chapters represent hunters who refuse to sit on the sidelines. They are stepping up to protect wildlife through sustainable use, safeguard access and opportunity, and ensure that future generations enjoy the same freedoms we cherish today.”

With the addition of these chapters, SCI continues its chapter expansion across the US and globally. Each chapter is committed to driving forward SCI’s mission of protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide.
