Backpacking SIG

This sign-up represents participation in the Backpacking Special Interest Group (SIG) from September 2024-May 2025. Because this group will resume activities in September, you may not receive communication until mid-late August.
Learn how to tackle a trail and the joy of hiking. Participants will explore a variety of environments on foot by hiking through parks, forests, and more. Members of the group also will have travel leadership opportunities available to them.

Hosted by: GSSJC and based at Camp Silver Springs, Conroe (various locations will be utilized throughout the year)

When: The SIG meets year-round monthly. Occasionally, additional meetings/activities are held. A specific meeting schedule will be shared after registration is completed.

Drop-off and Supervision: This is a drop-off event, adults who are not facilitating do not stay (Girl Scout ratio will be met by facilitators).

Adult Requirements: Adults who wish to help facilitate can sign up through this registration. This event requires active participation and/or is overnight, so all facilitating adults must have a current membership and background check.

Tagalongs: No tagalongs are allowed at this event.

Bring: Girl Permission Slip/Medical Form or Adult Emergency Slip (These will be collected at the first in-person meeting attended and kept on-file so they only need to be supplied once for meetings - but additional permission slips may be needed for non-meeting activities.)
