Cub Scouts can earn belt loops and pins in 25 academic areas and 28 different sports. Among them, the shooting sports loops and pins (Archery and BB-gun Shooting) can only be earned through Council-led events, under BSA trained supervision, and at a BSA facility range.
Marksmanship Day is one of such Council events and the next one is coming up on October 19th. Registration can be made online at the Council website. Make sure to wear your Class A.
And special this year, JOTA will be held on the same day at the same site! So you can attend two events in one trip. Detail and registration info will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
Note: Shooting sports belt loops can be used toward Wolf electives 20c and 20n, part of Bear requirement 23c and Bear electives 20.
