The challenge course offers fun, excitement and adventure within an educational experience. The course is a series of mental and physical challenges, including rope, cable and wooden obstacles. Each challenge helps groups to explore and develop teamwork, communication styles, leadership skills and problem-solving strategies. In addition, girls gain confidence, self-esteem, a felling of accomplishment and a better understanding of how they work with others. Volunteers who take the Instructors Training (3-5-6/11) will have the opportunity to help many girls develop communication, leadership, team-building and problem-solving skills by serving as the instructor on the course at least four Saturdays or Sundays during April, May, September and October! **Instructor Training: 3/5-6/11

Get ready for a fun, exciting and memorable experience! This conference is planned by girls, for girls, and it’s designed to offer something for everyone – cool workshops, awesome activities, live entertainment, amazing friends, and much more!

This workshop is available to graduating seniors to meet the requirements for the Bridge to Adult pin, which will be presented at the adult recognition event in April.

If the graduating senior would like to receive her pin at the annual Recognition Event and cannot attend a workshop, she needs to write a description of what she did to fulfill the three steps and request that the pin be awarded at the annual Recognition Event. The Bridge to Adult requirements are found at www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/insignia/bridging_awards/adult.asp. This information must be submitted to the Girl Scout Center by March 31, 2011.

A graduating senior may also earn and receive the Bridge to Adult pin by doing the three steps in her troop or alone and receive her bridging pin in a troop meeting or service unit meeting after taking part in a Bridging ceremony that she helped plan.

What could be better than getting Troop Camp training at camp with your troop? This learning opportunity will teach both leaders and girls basic outdoor skills including various methods of outdoor cooking, knife safety, fire building, knot tying, Leave No Trace Skills, orienteering, and more. Camp staff will supervise campers while trainers review policies and paperwork with leaders. Each troop must follow girl/adult ratio regulations and stay for the entire program to receive credit.
