Girl Scouts Inside & Out (Part 2) trains adults how to teach their Girl Scouts to venture further beyond the meeting place, from short day trips to indoor overnights lasting one or two nights within 200 miles of GSOSW boundaries.


An indoor overnight trip is defined as staying overnight in an enclosed structure with running water, heat, flush toilets, electricity, kitchen facilities or a restaurant, and phone/cell coverage. During this course, you will learn how to make an overnight progression plan, how to prepare Girl Scouts to pack for themselves and the troop, how to assist with meal planning, and how to help Girl Scouts prepare themselves to sleep without adults in the room. This training is the second in a two-part series called Girl Scouts Inside & Out, which has replaced Day Trips and Indoor Overnights in the required adult training progression.
