OUTDOOR EDUCATION TRAINING

Outdoor cooking is a team activity! Girl Scouts work together to prepare, cook and clean up after themselves when they eat outdoors. Start simple, build confidence, and work toward more advanced cooking skills. Encourage a progression of skills in preparing and cooking meals over a fire.

At GSNWGL, volunteers complete the course, Outdoor Education Training, to learn and practice the Girl Scout Way of starting, maintaining and extinguishing campfires. They learn three techniques for cooking over a campfire: stick, pot and foil. Food safety preparation and outdoor dishwashing is also covered, using Leave No Trace principles. Get your certification to build campfires with girls and get our girls outside and cooking together!
