Fall 2023 Lead & Learn

Fall 2023

Slingshot Instructor Training

Level: All

Course Description: If your troop is looking for something new to do at camp, or you are looking for a challenging activity that even Daisies can enjoy, it’s time for you to try slingshots! Learn how to bring the fun of slingshots to your Girl Scouts in this two-hour, in-person course. As a target sport at our Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri camps, slingshots use the same ranges as archery and hatchet throwing, and share the same set-up and safety principles as archery. Because of this, participants must possess a current USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Instructor certification to become a Slingshot Instructor or lead a slingshot activity at our camps. Slingshot Instructor Training results in a course completion rather than a certification, and is renewable every three years. Proof of current archery certification and current slingshot training must be shown to the Camp Supervisor in order to use the equipment and range for a slingshot activity or program. Course Prerequisite: Current USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Instructor certification (no exceptions) Course Registration: Register for this course by opening the course in gsLearn, selecting Start This Course, and following the direct link to gsEvents for the desired date, or by searching in gsEvents.
