If you like sports, you aren’t alone! Here are some more fun electives that will help you earn Arrow Points while you learn new sports skills. Archery and BB-gun shooting are restricted to day camps, Cub Scout/Webelos Scout resident camps, council-managed family camping programs, or to council activities where there are properly trained supervisors and all standards for BSA shooting sports are enforced.
