Outdoor Skills is the third step in the outdoor training progression. This hands-on training prepares adults how to teach girls the intricacies of managing a campsite at an established site. You will learn to teach girls how to safely use outdoors tools, strike and use matches, light wood fires and propane stoves, split wood, safely use knives, set up camp, set up tents, prepare for sleeping in the outdoors, and complete all the meal preparation and clean-up so by the time your troop goes camping, the girls will be taking themselves. Expect to spend 6 months or more teaching and equipping a troop with all of these skills.
Participant Information:
Training will take place from 9:00am on Saturday to approximately 2:00pm on Sunday at GSOSW's Mountaindale Outdoor Program Center, which is in North Plains, Oregon.
Please note that this two-day training conflicts with the other trainings happening at Mountaindale this weekend. Volunteers taking this training cannot also attend other trainings scheduled over the weekend at the site.
GSOSW volunteer trainings are adult, member-only and council-only, events. Please make other arrangements for your children.
Directions, Packing List, & Meals:
One week prior to the training date, you will receive an email with directions to the training location and a packing list, which includes your own tent and sleeping gear.
An email will also be sent that week containing more information about the weekend's meal plan. Registration includes meals for the weekend, which participants will cook themselves as part of the training.
