Fall 2024 Lead & Learn

Fall 2024

Hands-On Nature Activities

Level: All

Course Description : Today, in our always-on culture, it’s important that girls make a strong connection to nature and the outdoors. Getting outside and exploring nature contributes to girls’ challenge-seeking and problem-solving skills and make girls more likely to connect with and care for the environment. Learn about and participate in hands-on activities that volunteers can share with troops of all ages. During this course we will take a short trip to Mystery Pond to use some Nature Center resources!

Slingshot Instructor Training

Certification Course

Level: All

Course Description : If troops are looking for something new to do at camp, or they are looking for a challenging activity that even Daisies can enjoy, it’s time to try slingshots! Learn how to bring the fun of slingshots to Girl Scouts in this two-hour, in-person course. As a target sport at our GSEM camps, slingshots use the same ranges as archery and hatchet throwing and share the same setup and safety principles as archery. Because of this, participants must possess a current USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Instructor certification to lead a slingshot activity at our camps. Slingshot Instructor Training results in a course completion rather than a certification and is renewable every three years. Proof of current archery certification and current slingshot training must be shown to the camp supervisor to use the equipment and range for a slingshot activity or program.

Prerequisite : Current USA Archery Level 1 or Level 2 Instructor certification (no exceptions)

Course Registration : Register for this course by opening the course in gsLearn, selecting Start This Course, and following the direct link to gsEvents for the desired date, or by searching in gsEvents.
