Gain confidence by getting comfortable with fire safety and building a successful fire. During this event Girl Scouts will learn the basics of fire building: How to safely light a match, find the best firewood, decide which kind of wood structure to build and how to properly extinguish a fire. We will focus on safety, building confidence and skill set, the Seven Leave No Trace principles and respecting the environment. This event is for Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and their adults. Completing this event will help Girl Scouts work on the following badges: Daisy Buddy Camper, Brownie Cabin Camper and Junior Camper.

Did you know you do not have to attend this event as a troop? Girl Scouts and their adults are encouraged to sign up as duos. Meet new friends from across the state of Connecticut and expand your Girl Scout community!
