GSSI Volunteers are invited to earn their Fire Building & Basic Outdoor Cooking certification! 

This is designed to equip volunteers with the skills and confidence to bring the Girl Scout program to life in an outdoor setting—allowing volunteers to help girls build comfort and excitement around outdoor experiences. Fire Building & Basic Outdoor certifies and trains volunteers to be able to conduct outdoor campfires for recreation or cooking. Activities learned could be done at troop meetings, parks, or backyards to familiarize girls with outdoor activities 

This course consists of in-person training and review of required information (online) before the in-person training (approximately 30 minutes).

Fire Building and Basic Outdoor Cooking is valid for three years and may be recertified online once the certification lapses.
