The BB Gun Shooting belt loop and pin can be awarded only by a BSA range-trained shooting sports director at a BSA-approved range. Scouts can earn gun-shooting recognition items only at council/district day camp, resident camp, or council-managed family camping programs. Gun shooting is not approved for the Cub Scout program outside of these defined venues.
To be a BSA range officer, an adult must attend a three-hour training program conducted by a National Camping School-certified field sports director or National Rifle Association (NRA) instructor.

Requirements for the BB Gun Shooting Belt Loop


  1. Explain the rules of safe BB gun shooting you have learned to your leader or adult partner.
  2. Demonstrate to your leader or adult partner good BB gun shooting techniques, including eye dominance, shooting shoulder, breathing, sight alignment, trigger squeeze, follow through.
  3. Practice shooting at your district or your council camp in the time allowed.


Requirements for the BB Gun Shooting Pin


Earn the BB Gun shooting belt loop and complete five of the following requirements:
  1. Explain the parts of a BB gun and demonstrate how to properly load the gun.
  2. Demonstrate the shooting positions.
  3. Develop proficient shooting techniques by practicing for three hours.
  4. Learn the correct scoring techniques for target BB gun shooting.
  5. Make a poster that emphasizes the proper range commands.
  6. Draw to scale or set up a BB gun shooting range.
  7. Show improvement in your shooting ability with an increase in scoring points.
  8. Help make a type of target for the camp BB gun shooting range.
  9. Show how to put away and properly store BB gun shooting equipment after use.
  10. Explain how to use the safety mechanism on a BB gun.
  11. Tell five facts about the history of BB guns.

Councils may provide extra opportunities for a boy and his adult partner to continue qualifying for a pin after the council camp experience is over. However, a certified range officer must be present for shooting credits to be valid.

This is a great web site and full of good informaton. 4-H has a good shooting handbook in .pdf at www.caes.uga.edu/extension/troup/4H/documents/4-H-BBrifle.pdf.
My grandson turned 9 and, if it's OK with mom and dad, I'd like to teach him rifle safety and how to shoot.

My Grandson wants to earn his belt loop and I will have an NRA range Master give him lessons. I have military experience and will support his endeavors with additional lessons in the field. Shooting is a time-honored rite of passage in any culture that stresses preserving nature, protecting family, and creating family togetherness.

Leu - I hope you read the first paragraph on this page and understand the limitations of the venues in which a scout can earn this belt loop.  It would be a shame to set his expectations incorrectly.
