Do you enjoy camping, boating down a river, or hitting the trail? Can
you set up a tent, navigate your way, and care for an injury? If so,
the Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania Outdoor Awards program is for
you.
Get ready to build your courage, confidence, and
character through outdoor adventures and skill-building. This program
is open to Girl Scout Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, Ambassadors, and
adult volunteers who love to hike or ride the miles, camp the nights,
run the rivers or lakes, adventure through nature, do the work to
conserve the land, or serve the outdoors!
This program
offers a base patch and then a series of seven patches designed to
recognize Girl Scouts with exemplary knowledge and experience in
performing high-level outdoor activities. Each series is earned
individually. Girl Scouts can earn the awards for camping, hiking,
aquatics, riding, adventure, conservation, and service to the
outdoors.
How it works:
1. You register for the
GSWPA Outdoor Awards to receive the center patch.
2. Fulfill the
award requirements per segment.
3. Report on how the
requirements were fulfilled, so record your progress diligently.
Report links are in your GSWPA Outdoor Awards base patch confirmation
letter.
Registering for this program includes the center
patch and shipping.
