In this council the range master requirement is 20 hours OJT for each of the ranges rifle, shotgun, archery and 10 hours for Rendezvous sports. Once you have one of the other cards you can add cub scouts in a all day training. Cub scouts covers bb-gun cub archery and wrist rockets. These are all two year cards and require half time recert's every two years. This is not a problem if you are very active.

Archery Range Safety Officer does seem to have varying requirements, depending on the Council. Scout is often seen as different than Cub, but in actuality they are essentially the same, just bigger ranges.

Our Council requires at least a long days training by a trainer who posseses a Level 3 cert from a national archery association (there are several). And finding that trainer is often the problem.

Often the Trainer has gone to the Archery Organization and taken their training at his/her own expense (several days long).

You can get it (the RSO training) at the BSA National Camp School.

There are published Range Guiides for Cub Shooting Sports and Scout Shooting Sports, but finding them is often difficult. Check with your DE and Council Program Director. Often.

 

Scouts Luck to you!
