How to Plan Your Brownie Girl Scout Camping Trip?

Do you want to plan a Brownie Girl Scout camping trip, but worry that you aren’t prepared? Well, we’ve got you covered. You do not need to be a professional backpacker or even a seasoned camper to take your troop camping, especially with Brownies. Even if camping isn’t your jam, you can plan a successful camping trip with your girls. You can, and should, learn with your troop.

You, as a Girl Scout Leader, are amazing! Being willing to step out of your comfort zone and into a new world with your Brownie Girl Scouts. This takes a lot of courage and strength, and we appreciate you for going the extra mile for your scouts. They may never know just how much work you put into this camping trip, but if it motivates them to enjoy the outdoors, you have given your troop the gift of nature.

So, how exactly do you go about a successful Girl Scout Brownie camping trip? Well, it all begins with some careful planning.

Planning Your Brownie Camping Trip

So much goes into planning your camping trip such as finding a good campsite, preparing your and your troops mindset, and packing the right gear. Right now, this may feel a little overwhelming and almost too much work. Yes, it is a lot, but with the right help from your girls and families, camping experiences have always been so worth it for our troop.

The special bonding and experiences that occur on an overnight trip in nature make all the hard work worth it. To see the joy in your scout’s eyes and their faces light up will have you planning your next camping trip in no time. And once your planned one, it becomes a little easier. Plus you are working on so many badges while planning, such as Brownie Cabin Camper badge, Trail Adventurer Brownie badge, and Brownie Hiker badge.

Determine Your Campsite

Any good Girl Scout camping trip begins with choosing your campsite. For this, you will want to narrow down a few local places, or within an hour drive, to go camping. A great starting location is with your Girl Scout camp properties since these are set up with Girl Scouts in mind. However, there are so many other options too if you find these properties too far or filled up. Do a quick search of your state and national parks nearby. So many of these offer camping options for your girls with a lodge or cabins.

Once you have your list, it’s time to involve your Brownie Girl Scouts. We have found that gathering a few details really helps your girls make a decision. Begin by printing out some pictures for each of the campsites you are considering.

You will want pictures of the cabins or lodge, or even tent areas if you are tent camping. The girls also enjoy seeing pictures of the grounds, including trails, open fields, and activities like archery or rock climbing. Another area to try to gather some pictures are the inside of buildings. These might include the dining hall, recreation room, or even a shop. And don’t forget about the bathrooms. Even just knowing the type of bathrooms available and how far they are from the sleeping quarters is useful.

Campsite Information to Gather

You will want to gather information on the different campsites to share with your girls. Below we include many of the most common questions and ideas you will want to consider during your information gathering process.

Campground Accommodations

We begin by gathering information on the sleep arrangements. What types of options are available to your troop? Are there cabins, a lodge, tent only, RV camper sites? How many people does each sleep? What are the arrangements of the room: bunk beds, single beds, attached bathrooms, outdoor entrance? How close are we able to park to the cabins? Can we keep our cars here or is this for unloading and drop off only? Where is the closest parking lot? Do you offer wifi? Is there cell phone coverage? Are there designated quiet hours?

Next, gather as much information about the bathrooms as you can. How far are the bathrooms from the cabins? Are the bathrooms standalone structures or portapotties? Are there flush toilets, vaulted toilets, or compost toilets? Do the bathrooms have sinks and soap for hand washing? How many showers are available for use? Are the showers free to use or cost, and what is the cost?

Campground Activities

Then move on to the layout of the campgrounds. Which activities are available: archery, climbing wall, hiking trails, high ropes course, paddle boating? What is the terrain like: loose rock, muddy, dry creek beds, steep climbs, etc? What kind of wildlife is in the area: especially any more dangerous animals that you will want to learn more about? Will we need to lock up food? Are there areas to host a campfire? Which type of campfire equipment is available?

Afterwards, ask about the other buildings on the grounds. What is the dining hall look like? How does dining work at the campground? What is the menu? Can we bring outside food? How do we fill up water bottles? Is there a separate recreation building? What hours is this building available and how do we obtain permission to use it? What activities can we do in the recreation building? Do you have a shop? What is typically sold here and how much money do you recommend girls bring?

Emergency Procedures

Finally, ask about emergency procedures. What do we do during bad weather? Are there tornado shelters and a warning system? Do you have an earthquake safety location? Are there first aid stations and kits? If so, where are they located? Do you have a way to contact local emergency services? Who can we contact for assistance when not an emergency?

Bring the Information to Your Brownie Girl Scouts

We love to create a quick mock up on each of the campsites we pick. We include any pictures we are able to find, especially of the sleeping arrangements and activities available. Then we include specific information to some of the questions above that we think will move appeal to the girls when making their decision. Instead of presenting it to the girls, we hand it over and let the girls read the information and view the photos.

Then the girls can discuss where they would like to try camping. We try not to lead this conversation, instead allowing the scouts to guide their discussion. If they have questions, we try to provide an answer if it is not written for them and we know. If we aren’t sure, it’s okay to share that too. Create a list of follow up questions and you can even assign those questions to your scouts.

The Brownie Girl Scout Camping Mindset

For many of your scouts, this may be their first overnight trip away from home. And for some, this may be their first foray into the wilderness and exploring the outdoors. You will want to help your Brownie Girl Scouts have the right mindset for camping.

This begins with making sure they have knowledge of what to expect. A lot of this knowledge was gained when the girls picked a campsite location. They were able to view pictures of the campsite, learn about the activities available, and even get to know about onsite bathrooms. We like to compare this to our children’s school. Ask your scouts what it would be like to sleep at their school? Your scouts probably have lots of knowledge of a school and this is a safe place. This will get the conversation flowing about how camping is a different than sleeping at home. We love to begin by asking our girls what they think of when they hear “camping.”

Talk About The Facilities

Next, you will want to discuss sleeping in a new place with your scouts. But before having the conversation with your scouts, gather some information from the families. Do any of the girls get scared at night? How do they handle it? Are any of your girls sleepwalkers? If so, what does this look like? Do any of the girls snore? Is there anyone with a sensitivity to sound or light when sleeping? How often do the girls wake to go to the bathroom at night?

Once you have this information, you can talk with your scouts about how sleeping while camping is different than at home. You may place a special bell on the door to alert you if someone is leaving the cabin. You might want the girls to wake you if they need to use the bathroom at night. Maybe they need to come to your room since you won’t be in the same cabin? Should they enter or would you prefer they knock? What about if they get scared at night? You may discuss with your girls the need to bring a sleep mask or ear plugs.

Discuss the Outdoors & Activities Planned

Also prepare them for the outdoor activities. You will want to help the girls to understand that they will spend most of their day outside working together. You may even eat outside depending on your location. With outdoors comes lots of potential downfalls, so it’s best to prepare for these. The weather is unpredictable, so your scouts will want to come prepared. We suggest layering and bandanas. There may be difficult to access or inaccessible area do to water, mud, fallen trees, etc. And yes, there will be bugs, birds, and other animals.

Throughout the day, there will be lots of walking, some quiet time, some active time, and even more walking. Take a few moments to talk about the different activities you have planned. Share with your girls what to expect during this time and about how long they will have for each. Also let them know how to tell you they don’t want to do something and what they can do instead. This is especially true if you plan a high ropes course or water activities.

Share About Meals and Snacks

Plan to share about food and drink too. Your scouts will also need to learn how they will access water. Are there drinking fountains, sinks to fill up water bottles, water pumps? You will want to share about meals and snacks too. Will your troop be providing all their own food? Are meals included and eaten in a dining hall? What is the menu? Can girls bring their own food? How much food should they bring? Is food allowed in the cabin? What about dessert?

Camping Expectations

Be sure to set out our troop expectations too. Will you ask the girls to use the buddy system? How will this work? Will you practice Leave No Trace and the Outdoor Code? How will you leave the campgrounds better than you found it? Who will carry the scout’s equipment or pack? What is the expectation of privacy? Which items are best to leave at home for safety and security?

Packing For Your Brownie Camping Trip

You will need to help your scouts to prepare for camping by helping ensure they have everything they need but not a lot of extra. We start this by letting the scouts know that they will carry their own materials. While they will have a place to put their bedding and clothes, any items they need to keep on their person are their responsibility. So they should be choosey on what they pack, trying to pack light.

For ease of visibility during the day and night, you may want to plan a special Girl Scout camping shirt or color to wear. This is especially important when you are camping with a larger group and need to be able to find your scouts quickly. We loved wearing bright neon colors because everyone was so easy to spot.

What are the essentials of Hiking?

We begin with creating a first aid kit with our girls. Every scout should carry their own small first aid kit and the leaders bring the bigger first aid kit. Ask each family to supply one first aid essential. For example, we asked families for band-aids, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, gauze, medical tape, tissues, tweezers, hair ties, and a Ziploc bag for our scouts beginner first aid kit. Get our labels for free. You can assemble these before your camp out or put them together the first evening.

After the first aid kit is assembled. We talk to our scouts about the necessary items they should carry in their hiking packs. Your scouts will need water, a snack, whistle, sun protection (hat, bandana, sunscreen), map or compass, flashlight with batteries, rain gear, and their first aid kit. If families wish, they could pack bug spray or tick repellant too. You may also wish to start having your scouts bring a pocketknife and fire starter, but you can also save these for future camping trips once you teach them how to use these items safely. Visit our post on Hiking with Families for a full list of our favorite hiking gear, including our favorite hiking daypacks and hiking hats.

Personal Brownie Girl Scout Camping Supplies

We move on to packing our overnight bag. We recommended a duffle bag of some kind since this is lighter and easier to store. But your scouts could use any suitcase, backpack, or bag that will hold their items. Each girl needs to back one complete change of clothes for each day you will camp. For us a change of clothes includes underwear, pants, shorts, shirt, sweatshirt or fleece, socks, and pajamas. We also suggested each girl pack a light coat, hat or their bandana, and extra pair of socks too.

Your scouts will need to pack some personal items too. We suggest placing these items into a labeled Ziploc bag. Each girl will have different items that they wish to bring, but they will need any personal hygiene items they want to bring. These may include toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, hand sanitizer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, feminine products, loofah, face wash, brush, and deodorant.

If any scouts needed special girl carried medicine, we asked parents to put it in this bag or another special, labeled pocket with a notecard detailing the medication. All other medications we either given to the girls by their own parent or kept separately in our first aid kit with the correct medical paperwork.

Supplies for Meals and Sleeping

Depending on your meals, you will want each girl to have their own mess kit. This will include a reusable cup, plate, bowl, spoon, fork, and knife. We highly suggest asking your girls to label their own and have a special bag to hold these items.

Each girl will need to think about her sleeping arrangements too. We found it easiest to ask each scout to bring a sleeping bag and pillow. However, your girls could bring sheet sets and blankets if you would prefer. The scouts may also wish to bring a camping chair, depending on the bunk bed situation and the dining area, including a campfire.

Preparing for Meals while Camping with Brownies

You will need to know what your campsite provides. Once you understand which meals are included, you can then plan for the other meals and snacks. We love to ask the girls to plan out what to bring and have each family help supply the food. Be sure to talk about healthy snacks to begin the work on Brownie Snacks badge. You can ask each family or pair of families to plan for one meal or snack throughout the camping trip. This can also be done using Girl Scout troop funds or asking each girl to pack their own.

There are lots of simple foods that you can pack. We love breakfast breads or muffins since these require very little work on our part. Sandwiches and wraps are always great for lunch. Anything grilled or pasta salad are usually good for dinner. Of course, don’t forget your s’mores or other desserts. And then there are snacks. We like to plan at least four snacks per day. This is one snack for the morning, one for the afternoon, and one for after dinner or right before dinner, depending on your timeline. Then you have an extra snack for hiking or other strenuous outdoor activities.

You will also need to plan how you will store and prepare the meals. You will need coolers with ice (or ice packs) as well as a way to cook your food. We love grilling and find we can make just about anything on a grill. But you may also love tin foil packet cooking, roasting over a campfire, or dutch oven cooking too. If you plan to have a campfire, you will need supplies for this as well.

What Supplies will Leaders Need to Bring?

Finally, as leaders, we packed a few extra items. We brought along extra sunscreen, bug spray, and tick repellant. We also slipped a few extra hair ties and bandanas into the leader first aid kit. In addition, we brought our own camp chairs as well, since bunk beds just aren’t made for adults to sit on these days. A few extra blankets, especially for outside, and some games to play are always nice. We love to bring a deck of cards or two and maybe even a few board games too. If you plan to work on the Space Science Adventurer Brownie badge, you will need a telescope or binoculars.

If you plan to add in Brownie Painter badge and Outdoor Art Creator Brownie badge, you will need a few additional supplies too. We suggest bringing along some paints and if you plan to make the window mural, you will want washable window paints too. You will need paper, canvas, or other painting surfaces too. Bringing along pencils and crayons for leaf rubbings is useful. And of course, if you plan to work on a mechanical engineering badge, you will need the materials for this too.

Brownie Girl Scout Camping Agenda

We are providing an agenda for a camping trip with a Friday night arrival and Sunday morning departure. However, feel free to use whichever pieces work for your troop and girls. We will further break down the Brownie badges in a separate section below. Once you have your agenda, take a moment to e-mail this out to your families so they can see all the fun you planned.

Friday Night on Brownie Camping Trip

Be sure to plan some time for setting up campsites and making dinner (or a late night snack). If your scouts help prepare the meal, they will be one set closer to earning the Cabin Camper badge. Our girls loved decorating their sleeping area and arranging all their supplies.

Brownie First Aid Badge

This is the perfect time to set up a first aid station. First, have each family place out their supplies. Then hand each scout a Ziploc bag and let them place 1 – 3 of each item in their first aid kit.

While making their first aid kits, we love to tie in parts of My Best Self Brownie badge, Brownie Dancer badge, and Brownie First Aid badge. This is a great time to talk to your girls about what to do in an emergency, treating minor injuries, and taking care of their body. Plus a little physical fitness can warm them up for their hike.

Brownie Hiker Badge

It is always fun to go on a night hike scavenger hunt. If you plan a night hike, you could add in the Brownie Space Science Adventurer Badge. Your hike is a great time to add in lots of different Brownie Girl Scout badges. We have had success focusing on Eco Friend, Bugs, My Best Self, Outdoor Art Creator, Trail Adventurer, Outdoor Adventurer, Senses and Space Science Adventurer Brownie badges.

While one your hike, you will want to teach girls about staying on the trail and following trail signs. Be sure your scouts bring their essentials of hiking. Have each scout bring a headlamp or flashlight and take a little hike to familiarize yourself with the area (especially the bathrooms and how to get there). Have your scouts make a clear track to the bathroom, maybe add some signs with string lights to help them find their way.

Brownie Girl Scout Camping Trip Saturday Morning

Have a plan for breakfast and lunch – both the food/materials needed as well as preparing the meal. We enjoy an early morning hike to get us out into nature while it’s not too hot. But of course, depending on the activities available, you may want to try some of these options too. We find mornings a great time to try rock climbing, ropes courses, or any non water physical activity.

Just like you made your first aid kits on Friday night, you could plan to make a Trail food trail mix. If each family plans to bring one trail mix food, you would end up with a great mix of foods for the scouts to fill their bags. Ask the scouts to share what they brought and why it’s a good snack choice. Don’t forget containers or bags for each scout. For example, we love nuts, banana chips, m&ms, dried pineapple (or other fruit), sunflower seeds (without the shell), chocolate chips, raisins or craisins, popcorn, cereal, and chips. This is great for helping with Brownie Snacks badge.

Saturday Afternoon on the Brownie Camping Trip

This tends to be the best time to get most scouts at the campout. We love to pack in as many badges as we can during this time and also find that afternoon is a great time for any water sports. If more scouts are coming to camp only Saturday night, be sure to have some downtime planned to allow those families to set up campsites while offering something for families who are not camping or who camped Friday night. This is a great time for lunch, a late snack, or even an exploring activity.

With the heat of the sun shining down, your girls may want a little break after lunch. If you can, try to reserve an indoor area whether the recreation center or dining hall. You could even use your cabin if space is truly limited. We love to add in a mechanical engineering design badge here.

Brownie Painter badge and Brownie Dancer badge are two other great badges to focus on in the afternoon. We especially love to focus on Painter Brownie badge since many of the other badges are completed with this one. These tend to be a little calming and can help your girls reenergize for the evening.

Saturday Evening for a Girl Scout Camping Trip

This is a great time to plan a campfire program with your scouts. Your girls can help you build the campfire, but you will want to discuss safety first. Learning a new camping skill is part of the Brownie Cabin Camper badge, and practicing fire building counts for Eco Friend Brownie badge and Outdoor Adventurer badge too.

Most campfire programs include songs, skits, jokes, or dances. This can be a great place to add in some Brownie badges too, especially the Brownie Dancer badge. During your campfire, plan for some time to roast marshmallows, make s’mores, or prepare another treat for your scouts for the Brownie Snack badge.

Brownie Girl Scout Camping Sunday Morning

We reserve this time for packing. You may plan an early morning activity if your girls wake early. We love some relaxation and nature observing or yoga. However, you will want to leave most of this time for your scouts to pack everything up. When all scouts believe they are packed, have all the girls bring their items out of the cabin. You will want to have the girls do a thorough sweep of the cabin to ensure no one forgot anything. This might even include some light cleaning depending on your campground procedures. Be sure to let the girls perform, demonstrate, or show off any of their dances, art, or new learning.

15 Brownie Girl Scout Camping Badges We Can Earn

There are so many badges that you can earn while camping with your troop. This is a great time to pack the day full of badge work and fill up their new vests.

Cabin Camper Brownie Badge

This badge is the basis of your camping trip. If your girls helped to determine where to camp and what camping gear to bring, then you are well on your way to earning this badge. During your trip, have your scouts help prepare a meal and learn a new camping skill. The last part is to actually go camping!

Outdoor Adventurer Brownie Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. We pair this badge with our nighttime hike and scavenger hunt, be sure to help clean up the trail as you go. Learning how to build a campfire fits in here too. But of course you could also have a sleeping bag rolling relay race. This relay race can be a lot of run on Sunday morning right before you begin packing up.

Brownie Trail Adventurer Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. Your girls will need to pick their adventure such as a night hike and choose where to hike. They will need to pack the right gear and learn about what to expect. You can work on all these skills while planning for your camping trip with your troop. If you pair this with your nighttime hike and scavenger hunt, your earned this Girl Scout Brownie badge.

Brownie Hiker Badge

This badge fits nicely into any camping trip. If you plan your hike carefully, you can include many extra badges in your plan. Use one hike to earn multiple badges with your girls. To earn this badge, your scouts will need to help pick out the trail or choose something to see and bring the right gear, including a snack. You can pair the snack with the Brownie Snacks badge. While hiking, teach your scouts about staying on the trail, reading trail signs, and using a map. Finally, enjoy your hike with your troop and if you plan it for the nighttime, you could add in the Space Science Adventurer Brownie badge.

Space Science Adventurer Brownie Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. As you hike, observe the nighttime sky. You will want to talk about the 8 planets in our solar system and create a mnemonic device to remember them. At the end of your hike, let your girls look through binoculars or a telescope to view the night sky. Allow your girls time to stargaze and look at the constellations. This can be your stargazing party with your troop. After your hike, you will want to make a moon art project, this pairs nicely with the Brownie Painter badge.

Brownie Eco Friend Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. As you hike, practice taking care of the environment by staying on the trail, cleaning up trash, and respecting wildlife. During the hike, find a place to observe nature and take a closer look, this is a great time to add in the Brownie Bugs Badge. While observing, keep an eye out for animal homes. And of course have your girls share how they can be kind of others when outdoors and improve the trail.

Senses Brownie Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. As you hike, your girls can practice using their senses. Pair this with your nighttime scavenger hunt. As you hike, listen to the different sounds around you and enjoy the scents of nature. You can take this one step farther by having the girls smell nature items without looking and see if they can guess what they are. As you explore, let your girls gently touch different objects in nature and describe what they feel like. You will want to finish this badge’s taste testing with a meal or snack. This can be fun to pair with the Snacks Brownie badge when trying salty, sweet, bitter, and sour foods.

Bugs Brownie Badge

We love to pair this badge with the Brownie Painter badge, the Outdoor Art Creator Brownie badge, and our hike. While on the hike, you can focus on seeing bugs in action and exploring bug homes on your bug field trip. To complete this badge, your scouts will need to create a bug poster and a bug craft.

First Aid Brownie Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip, especially if your CPR certified adult is willing to offer a hand. As your girls create their first aid kits, talk about calling 911 during an emergency and especially how you want your girls to get help while camping. Your CPR certified adult can talk with your scouts about treating minor injuries, preventing injuries and how to use first aid. Pair this with My Best Self badge to discuss and try out some exercises and learning how to take care of your body. We love to have this talk Friday evening while making our first aid kits.

Brownie My Best Self Badge

We love to pair this badge with Brownie First Aid badge, Brownie Snacks badge, and the Brownie Painter badge. You girls will need to create their “elf self.” Then the girls will try healthy foods or exercises, while learning about taking care of their body. This pairs well with Brownie Dancer badge too. This is great to pair with your troops CPR certified adult. Finally, the girls will need to track their feelings, create a happy box, or try exercising when something bugs them.

Brownie Snacks Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hiking and camping trip as your girls will need lots of snacks throughout the weekend. Planning our your snacks is important for the first step of this badge. Be sure to include the girls in the process. You will need to create a savory snack, sweet snack, a snack on the go, and a snack drink.

You can easily pair the savory and snack on the go by making a troop trail mix for your hike. Add in the taste test from the Brownie Senses badge before your girls put together the trail mix. The sweet snack fits in perfectly with your campfire and dessert. If you have access to a freezer, making popsicles can be a great drinkable snack otherwise our girls love smoothies. You will need a blender, smoothie maker, or food processor to make this while camping.

Outdoor Art Creator Brownie Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. As you hike, use your senses to enjoy nature and allow your girls to take a few photos of nature. Your girls can find a leaf and make a leaf rubbing to remember their hike. Another part is to dance or make music outdoors, you can pair this with Brownie Dancer badge. Let your girls practice acting like different animals or make up an earth song. Finally, you could let your girls decorate a car or cabin window with washable paint and pair this with Brownie Painter badge. Painting the windows could be your mural.

Brownie Painter Badge

This badge fits in nicely with a hike or camping trip. As you hike, let nature inspire you for your art that you will make today. For the Brownie Bugs badge, your girls need to create a bug poster. Allow your girls to paint it as their portrait. After making your leaf rubbing, you could let your scouts try painting with their leaves to paint a mood. Finally, painting a window with washable window paint to make your troop mural can be so fun. Especially if one of the leaders is wiling to use their car as the backdrop. Be sure to include the moon in your mural for the moon art from the Brownie Space Science Adventurer badge.

Brownie Dancer Badge

This badge can be fun to add to your camping trip. While working on My Best Self badge and Brownie First Aid, your girls will get up and moving. Your girls can try out a new dance and learn to curtsy and correct standing position. Then you can let them make up their own dance to go with their earth song from the Outdoor Art Creator badge. When parents come to pick up their daughters, let the girls perform their dances and show off their artwork.

Mechanical Engineering Brownie Badges

These can be great for the heat of the day when your scouts need a little downtime. You can work on Brownie Leap Bot badge, Fling Flyer Brownie badge, or Brownie Race Car Design badge. Bring the materials and give your girls the time to explore with them. Then you can introduce the challenge and let the girls test and refine. If you have the time, you could always work on more than one of these too, but usually we find just one is enough.

Brownie Girl Scout Camping Outdoor Journey

Your scouts could also use their Girl Scout Brownie camping trip to earn their Brownie outdoor journey. If you are using the agenda above, your girls will easily be able to earn the three badges necessary to earn the Brownie outdoor journey. The girls would need to earn Brownie First Aid, Brownie Hiker, and Brownie Cabin Camper badge.

To complete the Brownie outdoor journey, your troop would then need to complete their Take Action Project. If you plan to work on this while camping, be sure to open the dialogue with your campsite early. Many times they can assist you with ideas and materials for your take action project. You can read about Take Action projects in our post on Clover’s Petal in the leaders tip section at the bottom. A few simple outdoor ideas is to create trail signs or other signage for the campground, begin a mini garden, herb garden, or butterfly garden, or even help add additional trash cans or begin a recycling program.
