Internet links listed below.
Skill Builder:
SB #1: the host Cadettes led "get-to-know-you" games and "teamwork" games as an ice-breaker; once when time was running long, they sang GS songs and told stories.
SB #2:started by the host Cadettes but each troop had been told to be ready to lead a favorite warm-up or stretching activity.
SB #5: learn basic rock climbing techniques and how to rapel from a rock wall or rock face-- done at the Rock Gym -- Done over the night's activities and through the safety talks. Once everyone was well started, the head instructor spent a lot of time on the rappel tower, making sure everyone had a chance to go down at least once!
SB #6: Find out about the safety equipment used in rock climbing--at the Rock Gym -- safety and equipment intros.
Technology:
T #1: searched the web for info and resourcs on activities, equipment and places to go if interested in high adventure.
T #2: One troop had fun with the model building!! They worked in pairs and each did an element, so the course was a troop effort. They used lots of toothpicks, clay, glue, and marshmallows!
Service Projects:
SP #1: the girls all compiled a booklet of co-operative and initiative games to put in the SU Library for use by all the leaders. The host troop did the actual compilation.
Career Exploration:
CE #1: Searched the internet to find out about at least one industry-standard high adventure groups.
CE #2: at the lock-in they interviewed the head instructor and another employee who was a trip leader.
