BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA® NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS MANUAL

Boy Scouts ofAmerica National Shooting Sports Manual, No. 430-938, for Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing. Reference material for all levels was put into one publication. All councils should make this available to their shooting sports committees, camp leadership, and unit leaders. The manual will help provide a safe environment for youth participating in shooting sports activities.

Manual is here





The BSA’s National Shooting Sports Committee understands the need for
clarification in the terminology and delivery of the BSA shooting sports
programs. The National Rifle Association, working with the BSA and the
Shooting Sports Committee, reviewed BSA documents referencing shooting
sports and has compiled that information into this new format, putting the
information under one cover. This manual contains all BSA-approved shooting
sports activities and must be adhered to. No other shooting sports are authorized
at this time. Information on approved firearms, ranges, qualified supervision,
training requirements, targets, and ammunition is included.

Updates of this manual between printings will be available at
www.scouting.org/outdoorprograms under the “Shooting Sports” tab.
Section I, “The Essentials,” contains information important and relevant to all
individuals involved in the shooting sports programs. This includes leaders,
merit badge counselors, council shooting sports chairs, council shooting sports
committee members, National Camping School shooting sports directors,
council camping committees, camp personnel, professionals, and all others
who may be assisting in the various shooting sports programs.

Sections II through VI contain information relevant and necessary for
individuals involved in shooting sports on a higher level and providing the
program for youth. This includes NRA instructors, NRA range safety officers,
council shooting sports chairs, council shooting sports committee members,
NRA coaches, council professionals, camping committees, camp rangers,
National Camping School shooting sports directors, and all others involved in
helping to organize events and assisting in the delivery of shooting programs
throughout the year.
