Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest in Grant County had its first Archery clinic where girls learned all about the safety of shooting with a bow. They practiced shooting first with the black side of a target then shooting at balloons and all did a great job. The journey begins with the Girl Scout environment itself. A girl's leadership potential blooms among other girls'away from school pressures, social cliques, and boys'where she can be herself and try new things. Among Girl Scouts, activities are girl-led. She learns by doing, and the learning is cooperative, not competitive. Adults helping with activity were Nancy Gordon and Annette Toney, local membership manager.
