Geocacher, Night Owl, Science of Happiness, Truthseeker and Inventor? You might be asking what those names mean. They are new badges from the new Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting and just a sampling of some of the exciting new program Camp Lachenwald has in store for your camper this summer! Join the 2012 Centennial Resident Camp at Camp Lachenwald this coming July and see what all the buzz is about! In the outdoor setting, girls will get to complete requirements for Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting badges and Girl Scout Journeys – and be on the cutting edge of what’s new, relevant and exciting in Girl Scouting – 2012 style!
Girl Scout campers make new friends and memories for life. A girl rises to meet the challenge of learning new skills, while enjoying what she already loves best. And, she’s sure to discover some hidden talents along the way! For decades, girls have become leaders at Camp Lachenwald. It’s a place where girls learn that they can improve their communities and ultimately, their world. This is the one summer adventure a girl remembers for life!
In the safety of our all-girl environment, girls try new things, have new adventures and can simply be themselves. Camp Lachenwald fulfills the Girl Scout Mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place – and we do it all while girls have lots of fun! AND, brand new this summer…be sure to check out the new half-week option for Girl Scout Brownies who might not be quite ready for a full week away from home.
