What’s the buzz on the Silver Award? Come join us and get the inside scoop!

Third-grade Brownies will rotate through a series of workshops (a wide game format) that introduces them to Girl Scout Junior activities. This inventive opportunity partially completes the steps to bridge to the Girl Scout Junior level and the girls will have FUN! Girl Scout Brownies receive the A Taste of Juniors patch to be worn on the back of their vest or sash. One or two adults are required to remain on-site in order to meet Girl Scout Safety Guidelines ratios. At least one adult will need to “travel” with the troop from station to station. Any additional adults attending are welcome to participate in a roundtable discussion about the Girl Scout Journeys.

Cross the hot lava. Escape the smoke-filled boat. Get through the sticky spider web. Balance for dear life. Swing  

across croc-infested waters. If this sounds like the thrill of a lifetime, then you’re both an adventure-seeker and a

problem-solver, and the low ropes challenge is perfect for you. This workshop consists of a series of real and

imaginary obstacles designed to pool your troop’s resources while working together to overcome low-ropes

obstacles. Even though the low ropes elements are close to the ground, troops will be challenged to use physical

strength, stamina, agility, balance and flexibility. This is a team initiative, and working together as a successful unit

is important. Dress for camp: sneakers and boots only (no open-toe or platform shoes).

Anyone can become a citizen scientist and help the ladybugs.
