1. Become an adult leader with a BSA Troop or Venture Crew by filling out an adult application and completing BSA Youth Protection Training (online)
2. Submit a BSA Merit Badge Application (specify Rifle and/or Shotgun Merit Badge Counselor) and attach a copy of your NRA credentials showing you are an NRA Certified Instructor for the discipline you want to teach
3. Once accepted, follow all guidelines in the Guide to Safe Scouting when running the shooting activity
