Troop Camp Certification

 


For those of you who haven't yet taken your camping training, we are hosting a TCC2 course right in our backyard at Scottsdale Ranch Park, November 5, 9am-5pm. This full-day course teaches the essentials of how to take your troop camping and teaches you to present outdoor concepts to your troop such as fire building, knots, outdoor cooking, knife safety, tent camping, and much much more.


In order to sign up for this course, you must have taken the online TCC1 through GSLearn.

Girls who are 14 years and up may take this course. They should take TCC1 through their parent's GSLearn account course through your parent's account, then email reghelp@girlscoutsaz.org to have the signup changed to their name.

Once you've taken TCC1, sign up for the TCC2 course here!  
Signups will close next week so act soon!
