Ready, Set, Camp! Troop Camping Training is designed to prepare leaders to take their troops to a cabin, yurts, or a platform tent unit at our camps. Most volunteers who take this training are troop leaders, but a troop may send an adult volunteer (must be a member of GSSNE and pass a background check) to take the course and become their camping specialist. All components must be successfully completed to be considered trained. All councils have unique features and therefore volunteers transferring to GSSNE from another council are required to take GSSNE's training despite their previous trainings. This training is designed to teach volunteers how to teach their Girl Scouts how to camp the GSSNE way. Suggested For: Junior level troops and up.
- CLASSROOM SESSION: Sept 17th 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm- A three-hour classroom session gives an introduction to our camp facilities and policies and procedures. The group will also be divided into patrols, just as a troop would be, to work on menu planning and to discuss preparation for the overnight session.
- OVERNIGHT: Saturday 9/27 10 am to Sunday 9/28 noon -A one night overnight at a GSSNE camp completes the training. During this portion of the training, participants will learn different outdoor cooking methods, outdoor skills, Girl Scout traditions and ceremonies, network and idea share with other troop leaders, and learn the ins and outs of taking a troop camping. NOTE: participants will be sleeping in rustic platform tent units.
