NRA Training needed for Cub Scout and Boy scouts activity.
Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2007 2:03 pm
Hello, My name is Calvin. I am the Cub Master for Pack 105, Raven District of the Sam Houston Area Council for the Boy Scouts of America. We are located in Mont Belvieu, Texas. We have planned a District Scout Extravaganza for April 11-13th of 2008, and we wish to include BB gun shooting for the cub scouts and shotgun / skeet shooting for the boy scouts. For this to happen, someone in our pack needs to be NRA BB Gun and Shotgun safety trained.
I have three people that would need to go through this training in order for the gun stations at our Extravaganza to be properly supervised. Besides myself, I already have two other willing volunteers. I am a CHL holder and have been an avid hunter since my youth. One of my volunteers was a Marine firearms instructor and has four years of military combat time. He has been a LEO for ten years, two of which he served as a fire arms instructor and also two years as a SWAT Tactical instructor. He has all state LEO certs for small arms, and for the last three years he has the Federal LEO certs for handguns M4 and M-249. My third person has worked for Homeland Security/Customs as a safety officer.
All three of us enjoy hunting and the outdoors. We are all firm believers in putting our families first and making sure our children have the chance to learn the skills involved with firearm training in a properly supervised and safe way. Obviously our sons are in Pack 105 and will be participating in the Extravaganza.
I have discovered that the only place to receive our required training is in North Carolina, and that this course takes place only once a year. As this training session is already over for this year we are in quite a bind.
I am now asking if there is anyone available in this forum that could help us to acquire this training. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
