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.

Backpacking
General Backpacking Information
Love the outdoors?
Want to spend more time outside? Join Backpacking! Girl Scouts
have monthly weekend trips from October to April in Eastern
and Central Texas. With experience, backpackers have opportunities
to go on summer trips to exciting places like the Colorado
and New Mexico Rockies and the Ozarks. Backpacking groups
are a great way for new backpackers to gain skills by learning
from experienced backpackers, and it’s an excellent
way for both experienced and novice backpackers to meet people
who share the same interests and love for the outdoors. 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!
And don’t worry if you don’t have all the gear.
Arrangements can be made to rent equipment at the Girl Scout
Center through a backpacking group coordinator. To join in
the fun, or for more backpacking information contact at Nicole
McInnes at 713-292-0353, or nmcinnes@sjgs.org.
