Spring 2025

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. Volunteers can challenge themselves as they build their archery skills and prepare to share their knowledge with others. This section includes USA Archery Level 1 and Level 2 Instructor and GSEM Slingshot Instructor courses, 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 before completing the in-person skills session at a GSEM archery range on one of our camp properties.
