Once troops are ready to begin cooking outdoors, special training from the Girl Scout council office is necessary. At least one adult must have First Aid and CPR training for all outings beyond the usual meeting location. If you plan to take your troop camping, please see the requirements listed below.
Current First Aid/CPR Certification
One adult with the troop must have current certification before any camping trip or before any outing beyond the meeting. This may be a parent or an adult volunteer.
Troop Camp Basics
If you have never completed previous Girl Scout Camp Training, it is required to have an adult in the troop complete TROOP CAMP BASICS in order for your girls to go camping. Additionally, although it is not required to do so, it is recommended that this course be taken before day hiking as well. TROOP CAMP BASICS covers the essential subject matter needed by the adults and girls in order to have a fun, safe and enriching camping experience with the girls. Fire building, safety issues and other necessary outdoor skills will be the focus.
