Basic Outdoor Skills Training gives leaders the skills needed to take Girl Scouts on a beginning outdoor overnight experience. We'll cover the eight basic outdoor skills, using campfires to do basic outdoor cooking, foil meals, one-pot meals, propane stoves, pocket knives, knot tying, girl/adult planning, progression in outdoor activities, health, safety, and security for the well-being of girls and adults. You'll have the experience of living in the out-of-doors! This is a facilitator-led course that is required before taking Girl Scouts on experiences where there will be outdoor cooking (campfire or propane stove) or sleeping in an outdoor setting (bathroom facilities in a separate structure, platform tents, cabins, pitched tents).Course Prerequisite: GSUSA Girl Scouts in the Outdoors (online course on gsLearn for all registered adult members of GSHG).
We will start promptly at 8 AM on Saturday morning. If you'd like to come into camp on Friday and spend the night, please reach out to bconnell@gshg. to let us know.
