Archery is fun, easy to learn, safe and one of the most inclusive sports around.  If you live in Montgomery County, however, it's very hard to find an archery program.  The members of Girl Scout Troop 518 have had the opportunity to learn archery through scouting activities, and want to share it with everyone by asking Montgomery County Recreation and Montgomery County Public Schools to add archery to PE curriculum and create after school archery programs through the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).  Students all over the US and in other Maryland counties are already enjoying archery with the support of NASP.  The cost to start the activity is around $3000 and the instructor training is free for teachers. 


Please sign our petition to support archery!  Please note that you do NOT have to make a donation to ipetitions or to our troop.  We are NOT asking for money.  Thanks!

The volume of support has reached a level where Montgomery County Recreation officials can no longer overlook our request. I am currently drafting a formal proposal to outline the implementation of the National Archery in the Schools Program. Expect a follow-up once I confirm the availability of policy directors for a briefing.

Why not? Archery is great for focus and discipline. Kids around here need something better to do than just staring at screens all day.

Used to do this as a kid. It is super safe if you have the right equipment and training. Get it done!
