U.S. Coast Guard’s Boating Safety Division: uscgboating.org Whitewater Rescue Institute: whitewaterrescue.com Canoeing Know-How for Girls Master canoeing strokes. The more you know about strokes, the better the canoeist you’ll be. Learn about basic paddle strokes and the single-blade power stroke (gorp.com). Canoeing Jargon Painter: A strong line that �oats and is used for securing or towing a canoe; recommended to be at least half the length of the canoe Thwart: Canoe seat Geocaching: Safety Activity Checkpoints Geocaching is a recreational outdoor activity that centers on the use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) and maps. Geocachers seek out caches (waterproof containers containing logbooks) that have been hidden just about anywhere in the world, whether in urban areas, in the wilderness, in tree roots, and so on. As treasure hunters in an international game of hide-and-seek, participants use geocaching.com to select cache locations and communicate with other geocachers. Geocaching often involves lengthy city walks or day hikes in the woods. Depending on the location of a cache, participants are prepared for more strenuous activities; if incorporating backpacking, canoeing, and/or rock climbing into a geocaching activity, reference the appropriate Safety Activity Checkpoints to ensure the presence of quali�ed instructor(s). Because of the challenging nature of GPS operation and the ciphering of numbers and data, geocaching is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies unless they’re working with older girls and adults as part of another outdoor activity. Geocaching is appropriate for Girl Scout Brownies so long as the time duration is not excessive and girls are looking for basic cache hides. Know where to participate in geocaching. Connect with GSGATL for site suggestions. Also, when on private or government property, follow all posted rules, guidelines, and etiquette. Geocaching.com outlines locations that are prohibited for placing a cache. �� Communicate with girls with disabilities and/or their caregivers to assess any needs and accommodations. Learn more about the resources and information that National Institute on Recreational Inclusion (nrpa.org/niri) and Handicaching (handicaching.com) provide to people with disabilities.
