***This is part 1 of a 2-part training. You must register &
complete both sessions in order***
Sessions 1 and 2 are live virtual trainings where you
learn the camping fundamentals you will put into practice with your
troop. Attendance and completion of both sessions are required
to be trained in Camping Skills.
To participate in any overnight camping experience or
practice any outdoor skills, at least one adult must be trained in
Camping Skills and must be present for all outdoor-related activities.
Camping Skills is designed to give you the skills and knowledge needed
to prepare your girls for a backyard overnight, service unit
encampment, car camping trip, or other event utilizing outdoor skills
(fire, knives/hatchets, outdoor cooking, etc.). Please take this class
8-10 weeks before you attend your first camping activity to allow
proper planning progression and paperwork approval.
Session 1 Covers: Leave No Trace concepts, the Ten
Essential categories of gear needed for safe outdoor adventures,
general wilderness safety, emergency procedures, and planning, and
knife and hatchet safety. We'll also review the basic information you
need to select, use, and maintain your tents, as well as GSGLA safety
protocols regarding tent usage.
