This one day Outdoor Training (with an online prerequisite) will prepare you to take your kids camping outdoors overnight and qualify you to be a "Troop Camper". This training will take place at Camp Inawendiwin.
Many Girl Scouts tell us "camping trips" are one of the best things about their Girl Scout experience. It's true: connecting with nature in a girl-led setting is a big benefit of belonging to Girl Scouts. By taking your Outdoor Training, you are helping to build the bridge between your girls and the outdoors- so let's get going!
By completing this training, you will be considered a "Troop Camper", which qualifies you to take Girl Scouts on overnight camping trips outdoors. Previously referred to as Outdoor 103, this hands-on training will provide a variety of skills- from fire building & outdoor cooking, learning about minimal impact camping, and exploring best practices on how to effectively prepare your girls prior to their outdoor adventure. At the completion of this training, you will have the tools to create a girl-led environment where your Girl Scouts can thrive as they grow, explore, and create lasting memories in the outdoors.
This training requires participation in an online prerequisite that will take place in Google Classroom, followed by a full day of skill building at one of GSCSNJ's four camp properties. You will receive directions on how to participate in your Google Classroom two weeks prior to your Outdoor Training. This event will be held in any weather, so please dress appropriately. Registration for each training will close two weeks prior to the training, and the prerequisite must be completed within 10 days of receiving your Google Classroom link.
A minimum of 6 registrants is required for this training to run.
Girl Scouts who are 14 years or older may take this course. Completion will qualify them to be an Assistant Troop Camper. A Troop Camper over the age of 18 is still required to cover Safety Activity Checkpoints ratios. Same prerequisites apply.
Location: Camp Inawendiwin, Tabernacle NJ
