GOALS Cornerstone - Buford (Grades K-12)
Join sister Girl Scouts for an exciting afternoon of outdoor exploration in the Pole Mountain Area of the Medicine Bow National Forest! The first step to enjoying the outdoors is getting out there and learning how to be safe. Let's get everyone out there for a good time!
The program will start with a short hike to explore summer in the forest. After our exploration of flowers and the world around us, we will test our navigation skills with a treasure hunt! Finally, we will enjoy a campfire dinner complete with s’mores and campfire stories.
The whole family is invited to join this adventure. All participants need to be registered for the event. Any participants younger than Kindergarten must have adult assistance throughout the program.
The National Forest requires a five dollar per day per vehicle registration for anyone driving a vehicle to the event.
Please contact Amy to register and participants younger than 3 years old. Amyi@gsmw.org
This trip is part of the GSMW Girl Scout Outdoor Adventure & Leadership Skills (GOALS) curriculum. Be sure to check out all GOALS options so you can choose the right trip for your girl:
GOALS Cornerstone: A day trip where participants will learn outdoor and leadership skills while enjoying an adventure together in the great outdoors!
GOALS Trailhead: A single-night trip designed for Junior and Cadette girls (4th-8th grade) who do not have backpacking or backcountry experience. Each camper must be accompanied by an adult companion who is a registered Girl Scout volunteer with an approved background check. Tent arrangements can accommodate girls attending with a family or non-family member. Girls will learn backpacking and backcountry basics and gain confidence with their skills!
GOALS Ascent: A three-day, two-night trip for Cadettes who have attended our GOALS Trailhead trip and Senior and Ambassador girls who do not have backcountry experience. With adequate experience and skills, Cadette girls can request instructor approval if they have not attended GOALS Trailhead. Campers may attend this trip as a troop with one volunteer adult per three girls. All adults will participate in activities and supervise campers. Girls will focus on becoming proficient in backcountry living and peer leadership skills.
GOALS Summit: A four-day, three-night trip for Senior and Ambassador girls. Girls do not need to have experience on a previous GOALS trip but should be realistic about the challenge of this trip. This trip is open to girls as well as accompanying adults. Adults will participate in activities and assist as needed. The GOALS Summit focus will annually rotate between Wilderness First Aid, Survival, and Leadership.
Registration for this event is $10 per girl and closes on July 1st.
