This 30-minute volunteer-only training provides Girl Scout volunteers with the essential knowledge and safety practices required to use buddy burners (a simple stove) during troop activities.

Participants will review proper setup, fuel use, fire-safe handling, supervision requirements, and clean-up procedures, along with common safety risks and how to prevent them. The training also covers age-appropriate use, Girl-led involvement, and council expectations for facilitating buddy burner activities in a safe, supportive environment.

This session is designed to be quick, practical, and confidence-building, ensuring volunteers are prepared to lead hands-on STEM and outdoor experiences while maintaining Girl Scout safety standards.
