Spring 2026 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.

USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Instructor Recertification Certifications that have not expired may recertify via USA Archery’s online refresher course. Recertification courses are listed separately in the course catalog and in gsLearn.

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 archery range on one of our camp properties. Registration for USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Registering for and completing a USA Archery course through GSEM is a multi-step process: 1. Register for an in-person practical skills session in gsLearn and receive detailed instructions for navigating the USA Archery website 2. Create a USA Archery account on the USA Archery website, then pay for and complete the USA Archery Instructor Certification online course and exam 3. Go to the USA Archery website and register for the in-person skills session after passing the online exam. This will be the same session date already registered for in gsLearn 4. Complete the in-person skills session held at one of our camp properties
