This is not a troop or group that you join; just take the Hiking 101 workshop, and then you will receive emails about upcoming hikes. Sign up for a hike, meet us for the carpool, and have fun with other outdoor minded Scouts!! Our day hikes happen year round, with backpacking trips in the warmer months too.You do stay registered with your troop. This is another outing to go on in additionto your troop’s activities. Each monththere may be different scouts on the hikes;come once, thrice, or whenever. There isn’t any commitment to do all.We don’t have meetings or dues and NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED. ☺

To Get Started: Contact me, then we’ll get you thru our short Hiking 101 workshop, and out on the trail.

Who am I? Ellen Dahill Govan, GS volunteer, I’ve been a GS leader for 20+ years, and this is my 34th year as a Girl Scout. Please note, I am not a Council Trainer; I offer Hiking and Backpacking 101 workshops to train scouts on how to be prepared for hiking, expand their horizons, and for those interested, to help them complete some badge/IPA requirements. I do have all the necessary GS trainings: GS Outdoor Education, plus Wilderness First Aid, GSWW Council Backpacking, and am a Certified Leave No Trace instructor.And, of course, we follow GS Safety Wise policies.And most importantly I have miles and years of hiking under my boot soles.

Contact me: Ellen Govan, in Lynnwood. Home # 425-776-7730Or by email: Govanssea@aol.com (Be sure and put GS Hiker in subject line).
