Level 1 Practical at 2024 FFR at Beaumont Scout Reservation

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION TO OBTAIN THE USA ARCHERY LEVEL 1 ARCHERY CERTIFICATION AT BEAUMONT SCOUT RESERVATION DURING 2024 FALL FUN RALLY

Course requirements consist of the $40 USA Archery Level 1 Online class (Course Information and Registration) and Level 1 Practical exam by a USA Archery Instructor Trainer. Once both course segments are completed, participants may download their official USA Archery Level 1 Instructor certificate which is valid for three years and is renewable on the USA Archery website. 

A $20 Practical Level 1 class will be made available at Beaumont Scout Reservation during Fall Fun Rally on Saturday September 21 from 8:30 -1:30 PM by Jimmie James, a USA Archery Level 3 Coach and Instructor Trainer. Previous archery experience is not required for Level 1 course participants.

Successful completion of all USA Archery Level 1 course requirements provides the necessary training for scout leaders (18 and older) to teach Cub Scout Range Master classes, supervise Cub Scout camp archery, teach the BSA Archery Merit Badge as well as running archery programs for BSA Troops and Crews.

Instructor candidates will learn to operate a safe yet fun archery range. The course covers range setup and safety, assignment of proper equipment, aspects of good shooting form and methods of teaching.

This USA Archery Level 1 course is taught in two sequential parts:

(1) A three-hour Archery Level 1 Instructor Certification Online Course completed prior to the Practical; and 

(2) Upon successful completion of the Level 1 Online course, students may then register for this in-person four-to-six-hour Practical Course which is to be reserved through the USA Archery website (see below links).
