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.
