Becoming A member
Membership is open to adults aged 18 and over. Membership is valid for one calendar year from the month the applicant completes an in-person new member orientation process and pays the required dues and fees. All prospective members must attend and complete a mandatory in-person orientation session. Orientation is held at the main clubhouse (918 Collins Road, Stoughton, WI 53589) on the second Monday of each month, promptly at 6 PM.
During the orientation, prospective members are informed of:
- the Club’s resources,
- opportunities for recreation,
- the rules and regulations.
After the orientation, prospective members fill out a membership application, access information card form and pay fees ($140.00 cash or check only – we do not take credit cards). Currently the fees are $100.00 annual membership fee, and a one time $30.00 initiation and $10.00 access card fee. Spouses of members may purchase a second key card for $10 if they also attend the orientation.
When you attend the orientation, bring completed copies of the following documents with you:

Access Cards
Each member who completes in-person orientation may receive an electronic building access card. The access card is not transferable nor loanable and may not be used by anyone other than the specific member to whom it was issued. Spouses may obtain their own access card by participating in the in-person new member orientation and paying the card fee.
All members must swipe their own access card to enter a facility where a card reader is present. “Piggybacking,” or following someone else in without scanning your access card, is not allowed.
Club membership cards must always be carried or accessible electronically when on Club property.
All members are entitled to ask the identity of others on Club property, especially if a person appears to be disregarding or ignorant of club rules and/or procedures.
Family Participation
A member’s spouse and children 18 years of age and younger are welcome to participate in club activities. Spouses may obtain their own building access card by participating in the new member orientation and paying the card fee.
All children must be supervised by an adult who has been issued an access card, understands and agrees to the Club rules, and can and will control their children.
When children reach the age of 19, they must apply for their own membership.
Member Responsibilities
Members of the Stoughton Conservation Club are expected to conduct themselves in a civil, respectful, and courteous manner at all times while on Club property or participating in Club events, free from any form of harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior.
Members are expected to follow all Club rules, regulations, and safety guidelines.
Each member is entitled and encouraged to volunteer to help, participate in club activities, and vote for directors in the annual election, held at the general membership meeting in September.
Members are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. This includes picking up all trash and debris, such as spent shells, cases, targets, food or drink containers, and spills and messes. Use the trash and recycling receptacles provided. Leave the Club in better condition than when you arrived.
When you leave, ensure that buildings are secure, equipment is powered down and stored properly, gates are closed, lights are off, and doors are locked and securely shut.
