GSTF Trailblazers
Girl Scouts Trailblazers have had a bold history in Girl Scouts since the mid-1950s. This special interest group develops girls’ outdoor and trail-based skills in topics including:
- Trail hiking
- Primitive camping
- Caving
- Rock climbing
- Taking action in parks and wilderness areas
Our goal is to provide older girls, 8th grade through 12th grade, with opportunities to experience high adventure on the trails and in the wilderness while developing technical and leadership skills. Girls can still benefit from traditional Girl Scouting, including the cookie program, badge earning and highest awards, with their home troop, and earn their Trailblazer pin by attending specialty experiences.
