Clubs and Teams

When you have a passion, it’s something to encourage and develop. That’s why the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore offers a variety of clubs that meet throughout the year on a monthly basis. Through these activities, girls make friends with others who have the same interests and grow in confidence.

Archery Club

Are you a budding archer who’s interested in honing their skills and learning more about archery? Learn the 11 steps to archery, range rules, how to set up a range, how to care for a bow, and much more. Archers will learn how to score so they can track their progress through our club program as they advance through our different levels. At each meeting, our certified instructors will be on hand to offer their expert advice and to teach participants more about archery. Each year, the Archery Club members help host and take part in Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore’s annual Archery Tournament.

The Jersey River Runners Canoe Team

Established in Ocean County in 1991, the Jersey River Runners are a team of Girl Scout Paddlers that come together to learn boating skills and racing techniques on the water in canoes, kayaks, and even stand-up paddleboards. Team members are all between the ages of 11-18 years old and participate in races competitively against other Girl Scout teams from across the country, as well as in local regattas and races. The season runs annually from March through October, practicing weekly together as a team, and also includes regular excursions or "Adventures" during months that do not include scheduled competition and/or races.

New members can join at any time in the season, but must be 11 years old by May 1st of that year to be eligible to participate competitively starting in the spring season. No experience or personal equipment needed- just be ready to have a great time with an enthusiastic and welcoming team of Girl Scout paddlers!
