Archery
Bull’s-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 skill
level and prior experience. Brownies through Seniors can participate.
If you have tried archery and liked it, this is the way to
strengthen and improve your skills. All instruction takes
place on the archery range so dress for the outdoors. No prerequisites
are necessary. Troops that are camping or willing to take
a day trip should consider taking part in this exciting activity.
The Bull’s-eye program
continues to grow and the activity includes a program patch
or rocker for each girl who participates. If it is your first
time to participate in a Bull’s-eye session then you
will receive a patch. If you have already participated in
the Bull’s-eye program before, you will receive a rocker
to begin to build your own Bull’s-eye. Once your troop
has participated in the event, please contact Program Manager
Nicole McInnes at nmcinnes@sjgs.org or 713-292-0353 for your
patches to be mailed.
Troops should be at the archery
range at least 10 minutes prior to the start time. Arriving
late will result in less time to participate.

Park Place on the original channel of Sims Bayou, the
Center encompasses a portion of the land granted to
J.R. Harris in 1826 by Stephen F. Austin. The Nature
Center’s log cabin, barn, 100-year old wagon and
