BSA requires all Cub Scout shooting sports (including Cub Scout archery, BB guns, wrist rockets/slingshots, catapults or rockets) to be supervised by a BSA certified Rangemaster. At the Cub Scout level, BB guns and archery are only allowed at district and council-operated events, and may not be conducted at the pack or den level. Archery Rangemasters may also conduct archery events at the troop, crew, and post level.

This training is a three-hour course that covers setting up a range, safety, handling equipment, using a bow stringer, maintaining and storing equipment, and instructing Scouts. This certification is valid for two years from the course completion date.

Sign-up is limited to the first 24 people.  Must be at least 18 to attend.  Must bring a BSA Health Form (parts A & B), COVID-19 Waiver, and Supplemental Medical Permission, if applicable.

"Archery and bb gun shooting are restricted to day camps, Cub Scout/Webelos Scout resident camps, council-managed family camping programs, or for council activities where there are properly trained supervisors and all standards for BSA shooting sports are enforced. Archery and BB gun shooting are not to be done at the pack level." (Guide to Safe Scouting)

BSA requires one certified Rangemaster for every eight stations on the BB gun and archery range. See the National Shooting Sports Manual (No 30931) for additional information. 

This training will take place at an outdoor pavilion!  Please dress accordingly - FACE MASKS or SHIELDS ARE REQUIRED TO BE WORN DURING THIS EVENT!
