program Flurry  ·  Program in a Box
 
description Help your troop prepare for Flurry, the popular cold-weather camping competition event for this level. It’s part of the progression toward Operation Snowflake, the premiere event of its kind in the northeast.

The box contains things to help girls learn basic map and compass skills, like how to read and follow a bearing. They will work on fire-building techniques like A-frame, learn fire safety, and practice through a fire-building game. Square knot, double half hitch, clove hitch and bowline knot instructions are included. They will learn how to saw safely and practice snowshoing as a terrific teambuilding activity.
reserve Your troop can borrow this packaged program, which contains everything needed to run it during your meetings, including instructions, activities, sample projects, shopping lists for materials and explanations of the purpose and results you should expect. The leadership team conducts the program at their own pace, so it is perfectly suited to the level and abilities of the girls. The program is available on loan, free of charge, from the Service Center. If you notify us ahead of time, we can deliver to your next Service Unit meeting.  To reserve, submit an online request form, or email Lola Furtado.
