Get Girls Outdoors
Outdoor Resources
Are your Girl Scouts ready to step outside and discover something amazing? Whether they are dreaming of hiking forest trails, cooking over a campfire, or sleeping under the stars, this is where those adventures begin.
Getting started is simple. First, make sure at least one adult volunteer in your troop has completed the Outdoor Training sequence in gsLearn. Find more information below. After that, you will find everything you need right here to build an experience that fits your troop, whether that is a simple nature walk or a camping trip.
Explore the resources below to help your troop grow their outdoor skills with confidence. You will find ideas and guidance for hiking, camping, outdoor cooking, and more. On the right, be sure to check out GSMW’s newest tools, including a full activity book for Girl Scouts and additional planning resources for volunteers. You will also want to review the updated Outdoor Training Manual to make planning even smoother. For a quick and approachable starting point, explore the Outdoor Basics Skills Guide, which outlines Leave No Trace principles and the essential skills every troop should know as they begin their outdoor adventures.
As you begin mapping out your adventure, do not forget to complete the required gsLearn Troop Travel Training, as well. When your plans are set, submit a Troop Trip Request Form at least two weeks before your outing. Visit our Troop Trips & Field Trips page for more information.
The outdoors is waiting. Let’s explore!
