About this Event
Hatchet Training – November 14th from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM.
Hatchet throwing is our newest addition to our target sports line up at GSSEF. Hatchet throwing is approved for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. During this training, you will learn how to safely facilitate hatchet throwing for older Girl Scouts and adults as you learn the fundamentals of the sport, how to properly handle and throw hatchets, how to play and score the game as well as how to reserve the hatchet range for your troop/group.
What to wear: Closed toe shoes with socks and weather-appropriate clothing. Please do not wear dangling clothing or earrings while participating in hatchet throwing.
What to bring: packed lunch and snacks, refillable water bottle, bug spray, sunscreen, hat/sunglasses, and a small backpack/bag to carry your things in.
This council-specific training is required to facilitate Hatchet Throwing with Girl Scouts at Camp Nocatee. You will receive a training card signed by the instructor upon successfully completing the training. If you already have a GSSEF Training Card, please bring it with you so the instructor can add it to your existing trainings.
You will receive a printed copy of the Hatchet Throwing Manual at the training.
