CAMPING!

 

Learning about outdoor living and basic camping skills is important to our Girl Scout program.  Camping is done on a progressive level as girls mature.

 

A basic progression is as follows:

  • Overnight stay at a house with sleeping bags

  • Overnight stay at a property away from home

  • Backyard tent camping

  • Overnight tent camping at a location w/facilities

  • Multiple-night tent camping

 

While camping Girls learn how to:

 

  • know and practice minimal impact camping and good outdoor manners.

  • dress for the outdoors and for unexpected weather

  • tie, use, and release knots that are useful in outdoor activities

  • make, use, and put out a fire for outdoor cooking

  • cook something for themselves, something for the patrol and/or troop

  • take care of themselves and others safely while engaging in outdoor activities

  • find their way using a compass and/or nature signs
