Tis the season for a little weekend troop

trees are in full bloom and theGroundhog says its Spring, Camp Pisgah

has opened all units for our troops to

Camping is an important part of the

Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Girls

develop independence, resourcefulness

and respect for themselves and the

environment at camp. They learn trust,

teamwork and their own strengths.

Camping with your troop is a

wonderful opportunity to explore our

camp properties and bond with yourtroop! With fellow Girl Scouts, you will

gain memories, lessons and more. Best of

all, youll have lots of FUN!

So whatever your pleasurebe it

archery, swimming, camp fire, horse

rides, or lounging in a yurtlet Camp

Pisgah satisfy your spring and summer

outdoor cravings. Register your troop

today for a weekend to remember!
