The course fee includes your meal, snacks and supplies for the day. Bring a bandana or hat and a mess kit or unbreakable dinnerware, and dress for the weather. Outdoor training is done out-of-doors! You will cook your lunch as part of your training.

On the overnight camping experience, you will work in patrols established during the Intro Course, to put the skills you learned there into practice. You will receive more training and program instruction to be shared with girls in the out-of-doors.

Full Troop Camper Certification is required for overnights including camping and extended trips. You must attend the entire training in order to get credit for the course.
