The NRA Range Safety Officer program provides nationally recognized certification for individuals responsible for supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

The Range and Target requirement to run a rifle range on scouting property is 1 NRA RSO and 1 NRA Rifle Instructor.

This will be an action packed course that will start promptly at 8:00 am and finish at 6:00 pm, lunch will be included.

This course is intentionally offered under market rate with the understanding that attendees will sign an agreement to assist with a set number of Hawk Mountain Council Range & Target Activities during the certification period.

After this course, you will be able to:

• Supervise Live Fire: Provide direct safety supervision for live-fire range events involving Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Sea Scouts.

• Enforce Safety Rules: Manage range commands, monitor shooter behavior, and ensure adherence to range Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Inspect Ranges: Conduct pre-activity range inspections and verify proper equipment and environmental setups.

• Handle Emergencies: Manage range emergencies, medical protocols, and firearm stoppages or malfunctions.
   

As with all Scouting events, participants must have a completed Annual Health & Medical Record. Only parts A and B are required for events under 72 hours. Click HERE to download a copy.
