Girl Scouts: Troop 8035 Campout in Whitnall Park--Coming Up Soon!

Hello again!

I just wanted to remind everyone to sign up for a campout spot!  We'll be back at Ross Lodge in Whitnall Park (across from the golf course on 92nd Street) and have a couple weekends to choose from. (July 6-9th, and 20-22nd)    You can choose to stay overnight, or just join in the activities on Saturday.  Since it's so close to home, feel free to come and go if you need to.  Parents are welcome, but not required--we have our safety-wise kid-to-adult ratios well covered.

The signup page is here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4FA5AD22A13-greendale3  If you sign up for a Saturday, let me know if your scout will be staying overnight to Sunday, or going home Saturday night since we're able to stay until Sunday at 11:00.

We've had amazing times in the past, and as the girls get older, we can do more and more.  I've already let the cat out of the bag on some of our projects:  We'll be making ovens from cardboard boxes and actually cooking in them, we'll make hobo-stoves from tin cans, we'll do storytelling, and singing, and nature hikes and scavenger hunts.  And of course we'll do all the marshmallow roasting and s'mores cooking that we can!  We'll also have some indoor crafts to work on when it's time to wind down, and a midnight-glow-stick-hike to see what it's like at night in the woods.
