Asalaamu Alaikum,
From the start of Troop 3480 our girls have expressed their desire go camping. Our first camping trip will be with our Girl Scout Service Unit this April, inshaAllah. Camping season is coming soon, so let’s get ready!
Due to the number of girls we have and their various levels of outdoor experience, we are are requiring both girls and parents attend a series of camping meetings. Camping meetings will give girls and parents instruction on how Girl Scouts camp, the equipment needed, types of camping and other tips. In addition, parents (both fathers and mothers) who want to obtain Cookout & Campout Certification will also need to attend so that they complete all the required registration.
Our first camping meeting for both girls and parents will be on January 25, 2014, 1 – 3PM at PGMA with Sis. Kesha and Bro. Ishaq.
Girls should bring an inexpensive reusable bag to be used to make a sit-upon — one of many Girl Scout camping traditions.
Agenda:
- Troop Camping Opportunities
- Camping Essentials
- Clothing & Shoe Wear
- Camping Gear
- Where to Get Camping Essentials
- How to Camp the Girl Scout Way
- Parent Participation
- Camp Out & Cook Out Certification Opportunities for Parents
- Question & Answer Session
