Hello Girl Scouts,
Welcome to the 2015-2016 Program Guide. We believe that through Girl Scouting, girls can do anything! The events in this
guide are designed to help you explore new opportunities. There are two types of events:
• Council-Sponsored: hosted by Girl Scouts of Western Ohio staff or volunteers. Registration happens through the
council
• Community Sponsored: hosted by amazing community partners who focus on the Girl Scout program. Registration
happens through the community partner and the troop leadership is responsible for ensuring the safety of the girls.
Here’s how to use this guide:

Outdoor, Overnight and Trip Training Opportunities
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio offers many outdoor learning opportunities for adult volunteers throughout
the year to prepare them to implement the Girl Scout Leadership Experience with girls. The type of trip
or camping experience your troop is participating in will determine the level of training that is required
for the leaders.
Part 1: Trip & Overnight Planning Training
Completing this training will allow the troop to take day trips, high risk trips and most overnight trips. It
also serves as a per-requisite for additional trainings.
Part 2: Lodge Camp Training
Completing this training will allow the troop to do an indoor overnight lodge camping experience at a
council-owned lodge or cabin. Pre-requisite – Trip & Overnight Planning Training
Part 3: Troop Camp Training
Completing this training will give troops outdoor skills, enabling them to tent camp, cook outdoors
and experience the environment using Leave No Trace principles. Pre-requisite – Trip & Overnight

Camping is an experience that provides a creative, educational opportunity for group living in the out-of-doors. Its purpose is
to utilize the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, trained leadership, and the resource of nature to contribute to each camper’s
mental, physical, social, and spiritual growth.
TROOP CAMPING
An overnight camping experience for 24 or more consecutive hours planned and carried out by a troop and its leaders using
sites approved by the council. Each troop going camping must have proper adult/girl ratio and at least one adult qualified to
administer first aid. See Safety Activity Checkpoints for both of these requirements. In addition, an adult must be certified for
camping . Visit our website for more information on camp certification.
