Some of the most exciting "sports" for the cub scouts are within the shooting sports; Archery, BB gun shooting, and slingshot shooting.

To ensure the safety of all youth participants, shooting sports are restricted to day camps, Cub Scout/Webelos Scout resident camps, council-managed family camping programs, or council activities where there are properly trained supervisors and where all standards for BSA shooting sports are enforced.

Kindergarten–age boys and girls in the Lion program are approved to participate in Cub Scout shooting sports activities only in Archery and Sling Shot(wrist rockets).
