Welcome to 2025 NRA Instructor Track (Full Week) Training

Participant Registration Page

NRA Instructor Track Participant Prerequisites:

All NRA Rifle/Shotgun Instructor candidates MUST successfully pass the USA Archery Level 1 Instructor Certification online course prior to arriving. Your course director will give you a coupon code upon request.  Once completed you will need to bring proof of completion with you to the NRA Instructor Track course.  For more information about this prerequisite please visit the USA Archery website.

Overview:
Unlike the Rifle/Shotgun Instructor weekends listed on this page, candidates will receive certification in the following disciplines:
NRA Rifle Basic & Instructor
NRA Shotgun Basic & Instructor
USA Archery Level 1 Instructor

Plus additional training in Scouting America policies and range supervision.  

This course may not be taken as a permanent replacement for the National Camping School Range Activities Director training.  Please review NCAP standard SQ-407 or the National Range & Target Activities Manual for more information.  

If you are looking to train NRA Instructors strictly for meeting range supervision ratios during year-round program, please consider the Nationally-sponsored NRA Instructor Training Weekends listed on this webpage.  

For all NRA Instructor courses:
The instructor course will ask you to be able to follow a syllabus and instruct materials during the class. You will need to have access to use the digital files during your instructor course, so it is recommended that you bring a laptop computer or tablet with you to the course. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to the contact for your course listed below or email outdoorprograms@scouting.org.
