Outdoor Training
Want to go camping? Then you’ll need to be outdoor trained.

Part A – Thursday, October 10th , 6:00 - 9:00, at Community Covenant Church, MPR, 5070 Cathedral Oaks Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110
Part B – Sunday, October 13th, 9:00 – 4:00
Prior to attending the training, you need to complete Stepping Out, an online training available on the Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast (www.girlscoutsccc.org) web site.
The test needs to be printed out, old-fashioned style, and snail-mailed to Marsha Hill before September 30th.
