Trailblazer Troops
What is a Girl Scout Trailblazer Troop?
Girl Scout Trailblazer Troops are a special interest troop that offers adventure on trails and in wilderness areas. The Trailblazer program provides an opportunity to engage deeply in high-adventure outdoor activities in a broad range of modalities, geographies, and climates.
Trailblazers develop skills in:
- Diverse hiking styles
- Types of camping
- Orienteering methods
- Conservation
- Outdoor preparedness and safety
- Survivorship
- High-adventure sports
When girls participate in Girl Scouts’ outdoor programming, they benefit in four important ways:
- Outdoor Competence
- Outdoor Interest
- Outdoor Confidence
- Environmental Stewardship
