I belong to a SAR Chapter in Central Florida. We are looking to become PB Safety Certified. We can't seem to find an instructor who would teach this class. Do you have any suggestions? Then, we want to price insurance so our Color Guard can provide Honor Functions.

Well, it has been a few days since your post and no answers yet. So, here is mine.
I am a SAR member up here in Tennessee. I have no idea what you mean by "PB Safety Certified." We have a color guard and they do on rare occasions fire their pieces in a salute. But I am not aware of any special regulations that they must adhere to. So, I wonder if Florida has some law about this that we in Tennessee do not.
I can only suggest that you contact your state organization, or other local SAR chapters in Florida to see how they handled it.

Reading the National Colorguard Manual, it states, unless I misread, that to fire a musket at an event, you needed Black Power safety course certification. Two were mentioned, one from NRA and one from the National Parks Service. These courses are scarce, I have found one that is offered annually in northern Florida not quite the Panahndle.

Anything to do With the National Park Service is a waste of time. They tried to tell me my 28 gauge was to small to shoot a 60 gr powder blank. They insisted it would blow up. I shoot this gun every month with 60 grs of 3f and a .530 patched ball. If you are in Central Florida get ahold of Buffalo Bills for information
National Park Service???
This is about the color guard of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), a national organization for the descendants of Revolutionary War veterans. Besides the national, each state has its top organization, and then there are multiple local chapters. The SAR color guard of each chapter is in period dress, and they carry a period musket of one type or another and occasionally fire a salute for certain events.
I am a member of the Colonel Benjamin Cleveland Chapter, Tennessee Society, Sons of the American Revolution. We have approximately 160 members in our local chapter alone, although many are inactive.
Also, there is the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) which is composed of female descendants of Revolutionary War veterans. My wife is a member of the DAR.
Last night I attended our monthly meeting of my local SAR. I asked about the color guard needing insurance. I was told that the National Society of the Sons of the Revolution takes care of that for all the various chapters. Nothing else required.

You stated that the National Park Service does the is one source for the certification. That's why I said to avoid them. If words could only talk
I missed that. Sorry. But it was Mark C J, the original poster that mentioned them. Not me. I had missed that in his post, hence my question, thinking that you brought it up. Apologizes.
"Last night I attended our monthly meeting of my local SAR. I asked about the color guard needing insurance.

No individual black powder certification is required to be a color guard member.
