Outdoor Education Leader Wisconsin Conservation Corps

Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike, make the world a better place, or meet their first best friends.

Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alumni, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

Camp Ehawee’s Outdoor Education Leader will be responsible for overseeing nature-focused programs for girls attending Summer Camp as they complete the badge requirements for each week on-site and off-site. The Wis Corps member will lead activities such as guided hikes, canoe trips, and overnight park visits. The Placement will provide meaningful experiences for girls as they teach and guide them through a nature-based curriculum.
