Troop Camping

Are you ready for an outdoor adventure? Camping is a key (and fun!) component of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, and troop camping provides an easy way for girls and volunteers to experience the great outdoors. 

Troop camp provides a great bonding opportunity as girls build campfires, go boating, practice archery, experience hiking, do arts and crafts — and so much more!

Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama's council properties are available throughout the year for troops to experience camping in a variety ways, with activities appropriate for all levels.

Requirements for Troop Camping

• At least one Basic Troop Camp certified adult.
• At least one First Aid/CPR/AED certified adult.
• At least one Basic Water Rescue certified adult, if planning to be in or around water.
• A lifeguard, if swimming.
• A kayak/canoe/sailing certified adult if kayaking, canoeing or sailing.
• An archery certified adult, if archering.
• Two zip-line certified adults, if zip-lining.
• A girl permission/health form for each girl and a health/information form for each adult.

Note: Different adults should fill each required role, e.g., the camp-certified adult and the first aid-certified adult should NOT be the same person.  This is to facilitate the ability for the first-aider to leave camp if need be in an emergency and still allow the rest of the troop to be covered by a camp certified person.
