This hands on outdoor training experience will focus on the 8 Basic Camping skills, girl involvement in the
outdoors, GSWPA information related to outdoor experiences, and much more.
By successfully completing this training, participants will have full use of all GSWPA properties and
equipment.* Participants will have met criteria enabling them to plan outdoor experience at non-GSWPA
properties, if the following have been completed: Trip and High Risk Activities Application, Program Site Safety
Checklist, and site Certificate of Liability.
*Use of amenities such as Archery, Canoe, Ropes, Rifles, etc. may require additional training or a certified adult
present.
First aid/CPR training is required of the adult acting as the primary first-aider for the Girl Scout group
activities indicated in the Safety Activity Checkpoints (formerly Safety Wise). While GSWPA offers these
courses throughout the year, volunteers may also contact their local community program providers for First
Aid/CPR courses in their area. Fees may vary as each provider determines their own fees.
First Aid/CPR is not required for regular troop meetings.
Minimum age for certification is 14 years old.
GSWPA does not allow anyone that is not over the age of 18 to be in the role of a first aider.
Refer to Safety Activity Checkpoints to determine the need for a first aider for all activities.
GSWPA only accepts certifications that provide hands on training format and issue a certification.
Online training and certifications do not meet First aid and CPR training requirements.
Girl Scout accepted First aid courses can be provided by:
