Troop camping provides unique opportunities for girls to develop their leadership skills.
Camping provides girls the opportunity to:

• Discover their outdoor skills and develop an appreciation for nature

• Connect through cooperative learning and teamwork

• Take Action by using their new skills in future girl led outdoor experiences.

A Troop Camper is an adult volunteer who has completed the required Outdoor Skills Training. She does not have to be the leader or CO-leader but she must be present at all of the troop's camping events to guide them during outdoor experiences and should also assist the troop in preparing for the trip. Any troop activities must match the level of training of the Troop Camper as shown below:

• Outdoor Skills I - For troops wishing to camp in cabins, lodges or indoor facilities

• Outdoor Skills II - For troops wishing to camp in platform or ground tents in an established camp site.

• Outdoor Skills III - For troops wishing to go primitive camping

• Outdoor Skills IV - For troops wishing to backpack in the outdoors

PLEASE NOTE: To ensure the safety of girls and provide quality outdoor experiences, Troop Campers must re-qualify every five years. Re-qualification can be completed in one of three ways:

• Retake Troop Camp Training Outdoor Skills I and II

• Take the next level in Troop Camp Training: Outdoor Skills III or Outdoor Skills IV

• Complete the Troop Camper Re-Qualification Assessment cost
