We're one chapter. SCI is the network.

Safari Club International (SCI) is the only hunting rights organization with a Washington, D.C.–based national and international advocacy team. It’s also the only one with an all-species focus. From its headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, and its Hunters’ Embassy in Washington, D.C., SCI mobilizes nearly 150 chapters and affiliate networks. Together, they represent millions of hunters worldwide. Its mission is straightforward: defend the freedom to hunt, and promote sustainable-use wildlife conservation across the globe.

So where does our chapter fit? Think of SCI as the national voice and the chapters as the local hands. When SCI fights an import ban or an anti-hunting bill, chapter members make the calls and show up at hearings. Meanwhile, chapters raise money that supports SCI’s work. For example, membership dues help fund SCI’s advocacy team in Washington. Likewise, our fundraiser sends local students to the American Wilderness Leadership School, an SCI Foundation program.

In return, members get SCI’s full set of resources, from the Record Book to the annual convention. Our own certified scorers can even measure your trophy for the Record Book locally. In short, joining our chapter means joining SCI, and that membership works in both directions.

Want the details? The Safari Club International website covers current advocacy campaigns, convention dates and member benefits. It’s also where members renew and register for the convention. Meanwhile, the sections below summarize what the national organization does and which resources members use most.
