5/30 - Cub Scout Rangemaster Training is available!
|
|
|
We’re excited to offer an upcoming Cub Scout Rangemaster Training for those interested in helping run BB gun, slingshot, and archery ranges at Council and District events.
Shooting sports are often a highlight of a Cub Scout’s experience, and helping Scouts learn these skills in a safe, supportive environment can be incredibly rewarding. We hope you’ll consider getting trained and joining us!

- Certification is valid for two years
- Participants are asked to assist with two District or Council events during that time (such as Day Camps, Camporees, Webelorees, AOL-o-Rees, or other Cub Scout shooting sports activities)
- No prior experience needed

This FREE event is designed for new Cub Scouts who joined between January 1 and May 30, 2026, but it’s also the perfect chance to invite prospective families. Cub Scouts can bring a friend who is new to Scouting, and if they join, they’ll get to build and launch their own rocket too!

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Contra Costa Fairgrounds, Antioch
|

- Activity stations and Cub-friendly games
- A welcoming environment for new families to learn about Scouting
We strongly encourage you to share this event with all families in your pack and ask them to invite friends, classmates, neighbors, and teammates. This is a great, low-pressure way for new families to experience Scouting firsthand. We are also looking for volunteers to help run the event. If you or any of your families are available to support, please let us know—we’d really appreciate the help!
|
Please let us know If you know of a location closer to you that will allow us to fly rockets. We'll be happy to host/organize another Rocket Day closer to Mission Peak.
