Outings & Trips
Many of these outings would satisfy requirements for Brownie Try-its, Junior badges, and Cadette/Senior Interest Project patches. Others might be a fun way to spend cookie profits. Remember to check Safety Wise for girl/adult ratios, first-aid, and troop camper requirements; have parents sign permission forms; and submit a Troop Activity Application form two weeks prior to departure.
