Giving back to our communities is an important value to Safari Club International. SCI is involved in projects that promote conservation, education and humanitarian efforts.

SCI leads the way in wildlife conservation. The overall organization as well as the local chapters are continually focusing on efforts that make a difference in the life of the environment and the animals that live there.

SCI plays a vital role in educating children and adults. In addition to hunter safety programs SCI also helps people young and old to experience the outdoors as well as spreading knowledge of conservation and wildlife management.

The SCI – Las Vegas Chapter participates in numerous projects to advance our mission.

Be sure to check out projects like these that we are proud to support thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters!

Giving back to communities is a SCI value. Safari Care Blue Bags are filled by chapters, individual members, church groups or even groups of schoolchildren or scouts. The contents may include medical, educational, and other relief supplies, or clothing and toys. The Blue Bag is taken to remote areas of the world by hunters who have planned hunts in these regions. The supplies are delivered directly to villages, clinics, orphanages and schools, doctors, caretakers and teachers to use with people in need. SCI and SCIF, like so many organizations, put forth enormous effort each year to help improve the quality of life throughout the world. 

It all started at the January 2018 SCI Las Vegas Chapter Annual Banquet. John Reich was the successful bidder on an Elk hunt that would make a dream come true for Army Sergeant Trevor Phillips. On October 1st, the opening day of the elk hunt, John set out with a goal to finally get a trophy class bull and Trevor his first bull elk. This hunt would have its challenges with Trevor, normally right handed but he would be shooting left handed since he lost most of his right arm to an IED while on patrol in Iraq. John is a well-seasoned hunter with many successful hunts all over the world and being in pretty good shape for 79, but there were still limitations. 

 SCI Las Vegas is a proud financial supporter of this program!
