Outdoor Camping

This overnight course combines the Cabin Camping course curriculum with a deeper knowledge of outdoor camping experiences. This is required for any camping experiences outside of a cabin/ walled facility. After completing this course, volunteers will be able to take their girls on a camping trip. You'll learn about health and safety procedures, how to set up a campsite and the equipment needed, tent pitching, troop and individual packing, Kaper Charts, meal planning and preparation, multiple methods of cooking, dish-washing, starting a wood fire, compass and trail signs, Leave No Trace principles, and how to tie these experiences to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Ambassador Girl Scouts may also take this course. Prerequisite to this course is Outdoor Basics found in gsLearn.

IGNITE: The World Awaits

Put on your seatbelt, it’s gonna be a great ride! Your passport should be ready for another volunteer retreat weekend at IGNITE: The World Awaits! Everyone lives in a world all their own – a world where they explore, dream and discover who they are and what they love to do. At IGNITE, we’ll have a chance to “travel” to places we’ve never been, connect with others both new and old, and experience our individual worlds in new ways! Excursions along the way could include zip-lining, kayaking, shooting sports or creating something beautiful! The cost of $50 will include three meals, workshops, tour guides and more! You’ll want to pack a sack supper for Friday evening or eat before you arrive. T-Shirts will be available to purchase when you register. After the deadline date, you’ll choose your workshop as well as your sleeping arrangements: cabin bunks, lodge (sleeping bag or air mattress), platform tents, or you can provide your own personal tent to camp. During this same weekend, we’ll also offer a 1st Aid/CPR/AED course and a Small Craft Safety course. Register for those separately if interested. There’s lots to learn and explore – Let the adventure begin!
