The purpose of this course is to teach Scouters how to become a BB gun Rangemaster. It is a safety course for adults who are interested in working with Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts. This four hour course is designed to teach you about air guns, what types of projectiles to use, safety, the fundamentals of shooting and how to set up and safely run a BB gun range for any Cub Scout event for your den, pack, district or council. Click here for the current presentation for use when running a BB gun range , as used by some districts in our council.
Anyone with the NRA Rifle Instructor rating can also teach this course to certify BSA BB gun Rangemasters for their unit and/or district.
