Qualifying for Shooting Sports merit badges in a single week can be difficult and time-consuming, especially for younger Scouts
Our Shooting Sports program has no age requirements— the only requirement is that the scout is able to safely handle the firearm. Safety involves both mental attitude & physical ability. If a scout cannot safely handle a firearm they will be redirected to a different program.

During afternoon program, Scouts and adult leaders have the opportunity to practice their marksmanship at the rifle, shotgun, black powder, and archery ranges.
Tickets for shooting during open program are sold in the Trading Post or at the Ranges. Tickets are good all week long, but tickets are not refundable. If there are a lot of people wanting to shoot one afternoon, you might not get a chance to use all your tickets on the day you buy them, so we recommend buying tickets in daily quantities to avoid having tickets left over at the end of the week.
The black powder rifle range is open Monday through Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eye and ear protection are provided, as is one-on-one safety instruction.
Schedule & weather permitting:
