I didn't intend to give a wrong impression - I only tried to show that rifle shooting is an accepted part of Scouting outside of the US. South Africa and the UK have merit badges including rifle shooting or marksmanship, the other three countries mention it in official documents, so it must be practised somewhere. 
 It's quite obvious that rifle shooting is no central element in Scouting - I'm sure, that one would be expelled from some Central European associations for rifle shooting on official Scout meetings.
