Become a Trailblazer and join this flexible year-long hiking and backpacking program for Girl Scouts who love spending time outdoors. Experienced leaders will teach you outdoor skills such as reading trail markers, properly dressing & packing for a hike, fire building, and knife skills. Attend hikes and events as your schedule allows - we have monthly hikes from October through May as well as camping and backpacking trips in April and May. Girl Scouts, you can attend on your own, with a parent, or with your troop. A one-time fee of $25 per person will be collected for the entire year, giving you access to a full calendar of events. Your registration is not complete until a health and permission slip is returned. All hikes and backpacking trips are included as part of your registration fee. GSNNJ offers a gear loaner program for members of this group. We will start the season with a challenge hike for returning members, followed by an orientation meeting at the Riverdale Service Center in October for everyone.
