Fall 2025 Lead & Learn

Archery

Picture this: A Girl Scout places an arrow onto a bow, hooks their fingers around the string, draws it back, aims at the target and releases! Bullseye! Archery is an exciting sport that takes strength and focus. Volunteers can challenge themselves as they build their archery skills and share their knowledge with others. This section describes the USA Archery Level 1 and Level 2 Instructor courses and how to renew them, and outlines the USA Archery procedures for course registration.

Certification for Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri’s archery program is provided through USA Archery. USA Archery offers Level 1 and Level 2 Instructor courses in a blended learning format. Volunteers complete the knowledge portion of the course on the USA Archery website prior to completing the in-person skills session at a GSEM camp archery range.
