Scouting America (BSA) Rangemaster training certifies registered adult leaders (ages 21 and older) to safely supervise and operate district- and council-sponsored shooting sports and target activities, such as BB guns, slingshots, archery, and tomahawk throwing. The certification is valid for two years. Scope & Limitations:

Cub Scout BB gun and archery activities are not permitted at the pack or den level; they are restricted strictly to district- and council-operated events.

The Cub Scout Archery Rangemaster certification does not cover Scouts BSA troop-level archery (which requires a USA Archery Level 1 or higher certification).

Depending on local council guidelines, trained leaders can run BB guns, slingshots, water rockets, catapults, and Scouts BSA tomahawk or knife-throwing ranges.
