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 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.
