Fall 2024

Archery

Picture this: Girl Scouts place an arrow onto a bow, hook their fingers around the string, draw it back, aim at the target and release! Bull’s eye! Archery is an exciting sport that takes strength and focus. Girl Scout volunteers can get ready to challenge themselves as they build their archery skills and share their knowledge with girls. This section includes USA Archery Level 1 and Level 2 Instructor courses, introduces new archery certification renewal courses, and outlines the USA Archery procedures for course registration.
