Once you decide to go camping, the next step is to determine where. GSCM has four council properties. To learn about each property, look through the Guide to Council Properties (Form 07-147). Take a moment now to look in the Guide to Council Properties and familiarize yourself with the outdoor property you will be going to for your training overnight.

Check Volunteer Essentials: specifically “Chapter 4, Safety-Wise” to make sure that you understand and follow all Girl Scout approved Transportation Guidelines.
For Example: When transporting girls to Ocean City, MD you must observe both Delaware and Maryland's laws regarding Seat Belts, Booster Seats, and Car Seats.
* There is NO CARAVANNING on Girl Scout trips. Each vehicle must have their own set of directions, a first-aid kit, and a flashlight. * Each vehicle should also have a copies of the Parent/Guardian Permission Form and Girl Health History for the girls riding in vehicle, in case there is an emergency.
23
For Example, the “Camping Safety Activity Checkpoint”: states Ensure the presence of a waterproof first-aid kit.
For instance, if girls ask "Can we go…." your response could be, "Let's check the Girl Scout Safety Activity Checkpoints.”

When you are starting to plan for a cookout, remember the age level and experiences of the majority of the girls in the troop. With first year Brownies, start with Step 1 and progress through the various steps. By doing this, both leaders and girls will enjoy their first experience and will look forward to the next one. IF YOUR GIRLS ARE OLDER, START “WHERE THEY ARE” AND ADVANCE THROUGH THE STEPS.

The fifth knot you are going to learn is the Larks Head, also known as the Cow Hitch. The Lark’s head is most commonly known for its usage in macramé. However, it is a good knot to use wherever you need a loose, temporary knot. A camp, the larks head is often used to temporarily hang and secure objects such as net bags to a clothesline.
