Outdoor adventures have been an important part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience since 1912. Spending time outdoors in nature is different from playing or learning inside. Outdoor spaces support active play and unlike most indoor environments, the outdoors offers open space where you can be messy, make noise, and be active. Spending time in nature (even just a walk in a park or around your neighborhood) helps you to focus and think creatively. Outdoor experiences in new places allow you to make your own discoveries.
The S'more Fun Outdoor Skills Patch Program is designed for volunteers of all outdoor experience levels to guide you through the Girl Scout Outdoor Progression, helping you and your girls build confidence, learn essential outdoor skills, and develop a love for nature.
This patch program is designed exclusively for volunteers, allowing you to earn rewards while practicing outdoor skills with your girls! As you complete the activities, you'll find many opportunities to connect them with Girl Scout outdoor badges.
