How old can you be a Girl Scout? Back to Index
We have this saying... Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout! Girl Scouts can start at K and continue thru 12th grade. After 12th grade they graduate to adult and can then become a Volunteer and continue on the valuable lessons they learned.

Does camp still go on even if it is raining? Back to Index
Yes. Camp happens - rain or shine. Please send rain gear (poncho or jacket) with your camper. If it is really wet, you may want rain boots
What should my camper wear? Back to Index
- Comfortable closed-toed and closed-heeled shoes, comfortable shorts and T-shirt. Dress for the weather. Clothes (and your camper) will get dirty, so have them wear something they don't mind getting dirty.
- We walk a lot at camp. Again, make sure they wear comfortable closed-toed and closed-heel shoes. Tennis (or athletic) shoes are the best option.
- Flip-flops are not a good option and water shoes may only be worn at the water activities.
