 Girl
Scout backpacking groups have monthly weekend trips from October
to April and sometimes organize a summer trip. Backpacking
groups are a great way for novice backpackers to gain skills
by learning from experienced backpackers, and it’s an
excellent way for both experienced and novice backpackers
to meet more people who share the same interests and love
for the outdoors. Don’t have all the necessary backpack
equipment for group weekend trips? No worries. Arrangements
can be made to rent equipment at the Girl Scout Center through
a backpacking group coordinator. Don’t worry if you
might be the only girl in your troop or a Juliette who might
be interested in backpacking. You won’t be the only
one! Sign up for an orientation and join the fun! For more
backpacking information contact at Deban Becker 713-292-0203

Archery
Bulls-eye
Individual and troop archery instruction is
offered at Camps Casa Mare, Misty Meadows, Silver Springs,
Robinwood, Agnes Arnold, and Whispering Pines. Instruction
is based upon individual skills level and prior experience.
If you have tried archery and liked it, this is the way to
strengthen and improve skills. All instruction takes place
on the archery range so dress for the outdoors. No prerequisites
are necessary. This is a perfect activity for a day trip to
camp or for camping troops.
The Bulls-eye program includes a patch or rocker for each
girl who participates. If it is a girl’s first time
to participate in a Bulls-eye session she will receive a patch;
after that girls receive a rocker to begin to build their
own “Bulls-eye.” Once a troop has participated
in the event, contact Nicole McInnes at 713-292-0353 or nmcinnes@sjgs.org
to have patches mailed.
Troops should be at the archery range 10 minutes prior to
the start time.
