In order to take your troop camping in an outdoor camping unit (permatent, tent, etc.) you must complete Camping 102. This course is led by adult volunteer trainers and will cover safety information, knots, outdoor cooking methods, dishwashing, camp clean up and more.
At least one adult (more is even better!) in each camping group must complete this course prior to your outdoor camping trip and must be present during the duration of your outdoor campout.
In this hands on training you will:
Review Outdoor Safety Activity Checkpoints and understand how to use them in activity planning for your camping trip.
Understand how to organize, run, and clean-up a cookout with girls using a campfire and/or charcoal.
Encourage and understand that a cook out and camping excursion is a safe place to fail. Fail first, fail frequently and fail often.
Be introduced to the 3 Methods of Girl Scout Cooking: One Pot Meals, Pie Iron Cooking, and Dutch Oven Meals.
Be prepared to take a group camping in an outdoor camping unit, learn what to expect when arriving at a camp unit and how to care for camping equipment.
Understand how to incorporate Leave No Trace best practices in your outdoor experiences.
Registration for Camping 102 closes 1 week prior to training date.
