We Hit the Target! Next Troop Meeting on Friday, October 19

The next troop meeting is on Friday, October 19, 2012 at 6PM in classroom 2. Girls should be on time and in uniform. Also remember that Troop 3480 meets every other Friday at PGMA.

Here’s a quick photo recap of our Archery Workshop last Saturday at the Adelphi Manor Archery Range. Kudos to Sr. Yasmine who set up an excellent program providing the girls with the Islamic perspective on archery and to Park Ranger Devin’s patient and supportive instruction. Congratulations to the participating girls who earned their archery patch. If you’ve caught the archery bug, let Sr. Yasmine know! You can also download Saracen Archery — an English version and exposition of a Mameluke work on archery from A.D. 1368.

Safety First! Lining up behind the safety line.

Girls learn archery vocabulary from tip to lower limb and point to nock.

Ranger Devin demonstrates proper stance.

Bows, arrows and arm guards await.

Junior Zahra H. aims for the target.

Junior Troop Leader Sr. Yasmine gives some tips.

Update to Troop 3480 Archery Workshop

The Archery workshop for Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors is still on this Saturday, but Sr. Yasmine wants to make sure the girls come prepared:

  1. Wear sneakers, ankle boots or other comfortable and supportive footwear because we plan to be shooting on the grass,
  2. There are no restroom facilities at the Adelphi Manor Archery Range. Take care of that before you come!
  3. Bring a completed permission form (if she hasn’t turned it in already),
  4. Wear the Girl Scout vest and/or pin only. Girls do not have to wear the full uniform.
  5. Come prepared to aim for the center of the target!
