Venture Out! is
an online adventure that lets volunteers explore different ways of taking girls
outside in Girl Scouts. Here, they’ll encounter the kinds of challenges and
successes that only the outdoors can bring: bad weather, distracted girls, new
discoveries and life-changing events. Along the way, they’ll find tips for
getting girls outdoors, plus real-life stories and advice from over 50
volunteers.
Venture Out! is for volunteers working with K-5
troops who have little or no experience taking girls outside. Never hiked in
their life? Have lots of outdoor skills, but don’t know how to share them with
girls? Venture Out! has ideas for both these groups…and everyone in between.
Troop leaders of older girls may also find it useful.

Through
Venture Out!,
volunteers will gain the confidence to take more girls outside and practical
knowledge from other volunteers about getting girls outdoors. Venture Out! is available from Girl
Scouts University, and made possible by the Elliott Wildlife Values Project.
