Traditional Training
For troops who only want to make s’mores over a fire and not take an overnight camping trip, a volunteer must complete the online module “204 Girl Scout-led Fire and S’more Safety” located in gsLearn.
Volunteers who have done camping training through another Girl Scout council, through Boy Scouts of America, or another organization can take the “204 Transfer of Camping Certification” located in gsLearn. Each person will be reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.
