Archery as well as being an Olympic target sport is also an inclusive and exciting adventurous activity for our young people. Thankfully for those looking to lead these activities, there are courses coming up:
Christchurch Scouts have Aim 4 Sport running an Archery GB Instructors Course at Braggers Wood on the 9th and 10th September.
They are offering a discount to Scout members so if you have anyone that might be interested.
Please book via https://www.aim4sport.com/courses/archery-gb-instructor-courses-now-available/
This is a two day course which is designed for people with little or no prior experience of Archery. Candidates must be at least 17 years old by the start of the course.
Topics that are covered within the course are; how to shoot arrows, preparing and delivering Archery sessions, how to select appropriate equipment, setting up a range and how to ensure safety on the range. Successful candidates will gain an Archery GB Instructor licence which will last for three years.
This course is not catered, so please bring lunches for the two days, although tea and coffee will be provided throughout. You will be working outdoors from time to time, so please wear appropriate clothing and bring waterproofs.
The days will run from approximately 9:00am to 5:00pm. Cost is £175. Camping can be booked separately.
