2017 National Camping School Schedule Released! 3 Courses Remain in 2016

Outdoor Programs is pleased to present the 2017 National Camping School schedule. With your budget planning process currently in full swing, we know it is important to have these dates ahead of time — please pass along to your program team. We will be adding the NRA Rifle and Shotgun dates in the coming months to the BSA Shooting Sports webpage.

Councils wishing to do the “Pistol Safety and Marksmanship Program” must be approved and have at least two NRA pistol instructors who have completed the “Pistol Safety and Marksmanship Training Program.”

These training courses are being offered in each region this fall and next spring. To find locations and dates being offered, please visit the BSA Shooting Sports webpage. We will be adding dates as they are confirmed, so check back often for most current offerings. The application to be approved to offer the program is on the BSA Shooting Sports webpage.
