Outdoor Adventure Activities and Trips for Older Girl Scouts
These outdoor trips are also an important step in a girl's growth within Girl Scouts. They help girls gain the skills and confidence to participate in activities beyond their troop. Spending time away from home, working with different peers, and learning to navigate new experiences as part of a group lays the foundation for future individual adventures in Girl Scouting and beyond.
For weekend outdoor trips, we ask that girls leave their personal cell phones at home. We've found that time away from screens helps girls be more present, connect meaningfully with each other, and fully engage in the activities and adventures we've planned. These trips are a great opportunity for girls to build confidence, independence, and friendships without the distractions that come with constant phone use.
To ensure everyone's safety and peace of mind, designated adult leaders will carry cell phones at all times. In the event of an emergency, families will be contacted right away using the emergency contact information provided. If a girl needs to reach home during the trip, she may ask a leader to call on their behalf. Families will also have the council point of contact ahead of time in case anything urgent arises during the trip.
Thank you for supporting this screen-free policy and helping us create a meaningful, safe, and connected experience for all.
Girls 13 years old and older:
Go wild caving at Alabaster Caverns State Park! Be prepared to walk, climb, crawl, and belly slither your way through broken rock, gooey mud, and water while underground with only your headlamp as your source of light. Caves can take up to an hour to go all the way through. Don't expect to use the clothes worn in the cave ever again; but expect to find out something about yourself!
The group will tent camp on Friday night and spend Saturday
night sleeping in a cave wearing their helmets. Be ready to help setup
and take down tents, cook, clean, and have fun.
Transportation from and back to Tulsa provided. After the
registration deadline, you will receive a permission slip and a list
of items to bring.
This is an individual event designed to supplement the troop
and Individually Registered Girl experience; individual events give
Girl Scouts the opportunity to meet new friends and have exciting
outdoor experiences they may not otherwise have the opportunity. have
the opportunity to do with their troop.
