Is this event right for my troop?

Skillettes is a stepping stone on the progression from indoor overnights to outdoor adventurers. Troop participants will sleep indoors (in Troop houses at River Ranch, or the Lodge at Evergreen). Learning happens in outdoor program shelters. The following meals are included: Friday dessert, Saturday breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner & dessert, Sunday breakfast.

Can our troop just come for the day on Saturday or only stay one night?

Skillettes is a specific progression step and designed for troops ready to branch out their camping adventures to explore outdoor skills. The full weekend Fri-Sun is a key part of this experience.

What if my troop is not ready for the full experience?

Service unit Encamporees &/or troop S'more rental thru GSWW at River Ranch may be a good fit to build overnight adventures. Sleeping away from home is a key progression step in Outdoor Skills.
