Founded in 2008 as an augmentation of the Shooting Sports Committee of Greater New York Councils, Boy Scouts of America, by a dedicated group of Scouters to foster and promote shooting sports by educating the public, especially our youth, and promoting safety and ethics. And to foster and encourage the right of American Citizens to own and bear arms as provided by the Constitution of the United States of America.
The Association consists of unit leaders, who volunteer their time to train Scouts in the safe operation of firearms and archery equipment. Scouts also receive instruction related to earning Shooting Sports Merit Badges and awards.
All members are BSA and NRA Certified Range Safety Officers and or Firearms Instructors.
