Last Updated: May 26, 2010

If you are seeking an Archery merit badge, please contact Mr. Domae for a merit badge appointment. The scout must make the contact. Appointments will not be made with adults. Mr. Domae is an archery merit badge counselor for the Los Angeles Area Council, Frontier District. If you cannot reach me directly, please leave a message:

  1. with your name,
  2. your troop and district, and
  3. your phone number with area code

Appointments will generally be made on Saturday Mornings Between 9am and Noon, and the merit badge will take at least two meetings, and may take as many as five to complete.

A limit of two or three scouts seeking an archery merit badge will be enforced. We cannot handle an entire troop at one time. If you are a lone scout, a parent or guardian must accompany you to the merit badge session. We will be working with sharp knives, sharp arrows, and lighters (fire); so, having your totin chip and fireman chit is highly desired.
