Outdoor Progression

Eager to get your troop outside?
Here’s a guide to help you take that leap when your girls are ready for it.

There are no set ages for this progression.  It’s up to each troop to decide when they are ready for the next step in the adventure!

Stepping Out Training is required when taking your troop beyond it’s normal meeting place.  Stepping Out Training must be renewed every 3 years.

First Aid/CPR/AED Training is also required.  You can find this training class many places, including with the Red Cross.  The class can be all in person (usually an 8 hour day) or it can be a combined class with an online portion AND an in person portion.

Outdoor Training is required for any outdoor cooking activities and for any outdoor overnights.

Be sure to check Safety Activity Checkpoints to see what other trainings are required for your planned activities.
