RGS and AWS chapters understand and further the mission of the organization to preserve our sporting traditions by creating healthy forests for ruffed grouse and American woodcock. With the help of RGS and AWS regional directors, chapters organize and run various habitat, hunting and fundraising activities including habitat days, youth days, conservation & sportsmen’s banquets, shoots, hunts, informational talks and membership meetings. Each chapter holds an annual conservation & sportsmen’s banquet along with other functions as determined by the local volunteers.

All memberships are maintained and processed through the national headquarters. Members automatically receive information on the activities of the nearest RGS chapter by mail and email if provided. There are multiple active chapters in many states.
