  couting  experience's  since I have been in college        One of the scouting  expierces  that I have had the opportunity to fulfill was working as a summer  camp instructor for 7 and a half weeks during this  previous  summer .    This  expiernce  proved to be  invaluable  to me  in so  many different ways . The first way this job proved to be  invaluable  to me was the fact that I would be working direc tly with the participants of th e camps rifle and shotgun  program and not  only  would I hel p  them with their homework in the morning, In the afternoon,  Me an d the  participants would work on learning how to clean the guns and I would  demonstrate  to them first  then I would have them come to the  cleaning   station   and clean a gun by themselves or if need be in a pair and they would clean a rifle that had been used in the mor ning for the start of  the shooting requirements .
