Local Scout Troop pursues Merit Badge
In keeping with NSSA’s commitment to provide opportunities for youth to explore Sportsmen activities, NSSA has made its indoor archery range and equipment available to a local scout troop so they may pursue earning an Archery Merit badge.
This relationship was conceived by fellow NSSA Members Julie Yacoviello (Scoutmaster) and Jeff Knauss(Eagle Scout and Merit Badge counselor).
Julie and Jeff approached Archery Chairmen Tom Martinelli and Art Klajnowski with the idea and a plan was quickly put into action. Tom and Art are also providing support to the Troops while they are at the club working on their merit badge.
NSSA Welcomes Mars Robotics Association
NSSA Youth Member and JOAD Archer Connor B. Also participates in the Mars Robotics Association. Their group was recently presented with the challenge to create a robot that collects foam discs and launches them toward a target. While brainstorming design ideas, Connor had the idea that sporting clay launchers might provide inspiration and contacted with the request to get an up close look at the machines.
Ron Halli, Kevin Sheen, and Wayne Noftz explained and demonstrated the operation and mechanics of several machines in use at NSSA.
We wish Connor and his team good luck with the project!
