Cub Scout BB Gun Shooting Sports

Cub Scout Sports for Camp Only

BB Gun Shooting

---

The requirements listed below are taken from the Shooting Sports for Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, and Parents in Camp, No. 13-550, 2003 printing

The requirements for the Loop and Pin were completely rewrittten since the previous edition.

---

BB-gun shooting, is a camp program. Boys can earn BB-gun
recognition items only at council/district day camp, resident camp, or council-managed
family camping programs

BB-Gun programs are not permitted at den and pack activities. However, leaders can help parents understand the importance of training and encourage attendance of boys at Cub Scout camps that offer this training.

Many Cub Scouts have BB guns or air rifles at home and will be
exposed to some type of firearm while growing up. Parents should understand
that safety is as necessary with BB guns and air rifles as it is in any
other aspect of shooting. Training is essential in learning how to shoot
well, and safe shooting habits developed early help provide the atmosphere
for learning these skills.

Gun-shooting sports are not an approved part of the Cub Scout program, except at Cub Scout day or resident camp. At camp, boys might have an opportunity to take part in a BB-gun (rifle) safety and marksmanship program under the direction of a trained BB-gun range officer. These range officers must attend a three-hour training program conducted by a National Camping School-certified field sports director or National Rifle Association (NRA) instructor.

The BB-Gun Shooting belt loop and pin can only be awarded by a BSA range-trained shooting-sports director at a BSA approved range. Earning the BB Shooting Belt Loop while a Wolf Cub Scout also satisfies Elective 20n (toward Wolf Arrow Points).
