The
council maintains a wide range of facilities for our
members’ use throughout the year. These facilities are
available for Girl Scout troop/group outings and camping,
as well as council-sponsored events/activities. They
provide a place for girls to discover the joy and beauty
of the world around them.
There are a
variety of group camping training options for leaders to
develop their knowledge, skills and confidence levels to
correspond with the type of camping experience desired. In
lieu of training volunteers may demonstrate comparable
experience.
More detailed
information about each of these properties, including
fees, is available on the Site Reservation Request Form
available in the service unit forms box or at the Girl
Scout Service Center.
