CABIN CAMPING
Cabin Camping is a home study course that will help guide you through the processes needed to plan, experience and evaluate a simple overnight experience for your girls in either a lodge, cabin or hotel location. This course will not prepare you to build fires or cook over anything other than a range, stove or microwave. For camping that involves fire building and other cooking methods, you will need to take Camping Basics or Troop Camp Training.
CAMPING BASICS
Camping Basics enables you to experience first-hand the skills you will need to take your girls on an outdoor trip including: planning, packing, cooking, fire building, care of camp site and equipment, and outdoor program ideas. You will be split into patrols and required to provide all equipment and food for the overnight session. You must attend all hours scheduled for the course or you will not receive credit for taking the course.
