Resources for Camping with Your Troop

Whether it is a first-time backyard campout for Daisies or a rugged backpacking trek for older Scouts, camping provides a unique environment where girls develop self-reliance, teamwork, and a profound respect for nature. Beyond the classic joys of singing around a campfire and mastering the art of the perfect s’more, these excursions empower girls to step outside their comfort zones, take calculated risks, and build lifelong memories with their sister scouts.

Quick Tips for Your First Trip

• Safety First: Ensure all adults have the required outdoor training and that you’ve reviewed the Safety Activity Checkpoints for your specific council.
• Keep it Girl-Led: Even young scouts can help choose the menu or pick out a few fun patches to commemorate the event.
• Preparation is Key: Use resources like our badge downloads to get the girls excited and educated before you ever leave the driveway.
