Steps in Planning a High Adventure Outing
When a troop decides they want to try out a high adventure outing,
you need to take a look at whether the girls are ready for the intensity
of the activity that they are requesting. Once that is done— the
process of planning a high adventure activity is outlined in the following
steps.
Determine an activity that is suitable for your troop.
Review a list of activities
that are considered high adventure.
Review a list of prohibited
activities.
Submit a B220
Form for your troop if you haven't already.
Review the High
Adventure Vendor List to determine what vendors offer the activity
you are looking for. Make sure that the Insurance Expiration date is
after the planned date for when you want to do the activity
If the vendor is not on the vendor list, submit a Vendor
Request Form [PDF
Version], email Jessica Russell at jrussell@gscnc.org
with the contact information for the vendor or call 202-237-1670 ext.
271.
If the vendor is operated by a government constituency then they do
not have to appear on the vendor list to be approved, we do not pursue
insurance information from government constituencies. If you are unsure
whether the vendor is operated by a government constituency then contact
Celia
Overby at the number or email address above.
Review the Safety Wise guidelines for the activity that you are planning
on doing
Contact several Vendors to see if what they offer matches the experience
your troop is looking for (i.e. trail riding instead of riding around
a ring for horseback riding).
Go over the Safety Wise guidelines with the vendor to ensure that they
meet Girl Scout safety standards.
Submit the B240
Notification Form for the activity.
Prepare your troop for the outing and make sure that they have all
of the required special equipment that may be needed.
Enjoy the trip with your troop!
