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 10 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.
