My Girl Scout troop recently bridged to Cadette and so I wanted something exciting and challenging to begin this new level for us all. Flagstaff EXTREME is a high ropes course - this is an obstacle course that runs tree-to-tree suspended 15-60 ft up in the air. The training course teaches you to safely and how to correctly navigate a suspended obstacle course while wearing a safety harness. The kids course is a series of challenging rope and suspended obstacle course that is a few feet above the ground. The adult course is a little bit higher and has 5 different levels of difficulty and looks amazing. The girls in the troop are currently 11 years old so that kept us on the kids course. I'm pleased to say that my girls were challenged and tested that morning. Several of them went further than they ever thought they could which was thrilling for them. The members of entire troop were encouraging to individuals that were too scared to get very far at all. To see them rally around each other and succeed as a group was in itself worth the trip.
It is these trips, these moments, these experiences that make Girl Scouts such a wonderful organization and help the girls overcome fear and learn how they can accomplish amazing and "scary" things when they push themselves.
This is definitely a place I will bring my family in the near future for an adventurous day in nature.
