Are you a registered Adult that would like to would like to support the Cub Scout Range and Target Activities (formally Shooting Sports) program?  Join us for Rangemaster Training on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The cost is $20.00 per person.  Lunch will be included.

Scouting America requires all Cub Scout Range and Target Activities (including Cub Scout archery, BB guns, wrist rockets/slingshots, catapults or rockets) to be supervised by a Scouting America 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. Additional training is required for Scouts BSA Range and Target Activities (RATA).

This training is a eight-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.  This allows you to offer a variety of Range and Target Activities at an MCC property or an approved Council or District event.

Sign-up is limited to the first 20 people.  Must be at least 18 to attend.  Must bring a Scouting America Annual Healh and Medical Form (parts A & B).

"Archery, BB gun shooting, and slingshot shooting are restricted to day camps, Cub Scout, Webelos Scout & AOL Scout long term camps, council-managed short-term camps, or council activities where there are properly trained supervisors and where all standards for Scouting America range & target activities are enforced. All range and target activities in the Cub Scout program must be supervised by a qualified range master who is at least 18 years of age and meets the minimum requirements." (Cub Scout Range and Target Activities | Scouting America)

Scouting America requires one certified Rangemaster for every eight stations on the BB gun and archery range.
