Ceremonies are an important part of Girl Scouts. They acknowledge accomplishment, they demonstrate respect, they draw the troop and

Outdoor Activity Consultant – How Can I Make Scouting Easier For You?
What does the Service Unit OAC do? I help plan and facilitate the Encampments and some of the outdoor Service Unit activities during the year.
I also am responsible for approving individual troop outdoor activities.
Girl Scouts requires an enormous amount of paperwork; so much so that I find it can either discourage a troop from camping or, frequently,
troops will go on an event without filling out the paperwork at all.
We’re all familiar with the Permission Slip. You all know that you need them when you have an activity outside of your normal meeting place or
cover issues of a sensitive nature. I’d like to also introduce you to the Activity Approval Form. This form needs to be submitted to your OAC for
approval before you do one of the following:
Archery Swimming
Challenge course Tubing
High ropes course Water skiing
Caving Windsurfing
Competitive orienteering Overnight away from home
International travel Overnight camping (one night)
Skiing/Snowboarding/Snowshoeing Troop camping (2 nights)
Bicycling Trip/Travel camping (>3 nights)
Canoeing Travel activity (>3 nights, hotels)
Kayaking Backpacking
Rafting Rock climbing (not indoor)
Rowboating Rapelling
Sailing Horseback riding
I’ve put a few in bold that the younger troops will frequently do, but not realize that they need activity approval from their OAC.
If you are taking your kids on a local field trip and the activity is not listed above, then you do not need to fill out an Activity Approval Form.
If you are taking your kids on a day trip that is 2 or more hours away, and the activity is not listed above, then you do not need to fill out an
Activity Approval Form, but you do need to submit a completed copy of your Permission Slip to the OAC before you go.
Why is the Activity Approval Form necessary, outside of liability and insurance issues for Girl Scouts? Perhaps the biggest reason is to show
troop Progression. During your leader training you hear the instructors talk about letting the girls start to make more of their own decisions on
troop activities. You may start out on this by letting them vote on a short list of field trips of Try-Its and Badges. By the time they are Cadettes
they will be running their own meetings. This is girl Progression (and ‘letting go’ for the leaders). We also need to do this with our outdoor
activities – primarily camping.
For instance, my troop of first year Juniors has been working on the following camping skills progression as Brownies, and we hope to complete
the last one this year:
Overnight away –> Kaper charts –>fire safety/skills –> outdoor cooking –> tent pitching
Please remember your OAC when you plan an activity!
