We are having our older girl fall Neighborhood Encampment at Shadow Rim Ranch, our Girl Scout camp located outside of Payson, about 1.5-2 hours from Scottsdale. It's a beautiful camp. You'll love it!
Program Opportunities: There will be no wide games at this encampment. The time is open for your own troop's activities, so you can take a hike, work on a badge, or even give your girls some down time. Whatever you wish! Archery, Climbing Wall, and Canoeing will be available. We will also have a friendship bracelets craft. We'll have a big campfire Saturday night.
Meals: All troops will be cooking their own meals. Feel free to buddy up with another troop! This is a great bridging or friendship building opportunity.
Accommodations: There are various cabins and buildings for us to stay in, each of which accommodate a different number of people. Some buildings have beds, some have only mattresses.
Swaps: Once again, we will have a swap exchange. Please prepare your swaps around a wilderness/camping/outdoors theme or the encampment theme. We suggest that each girl bring at least ten swaps, but that's up to your troop.
Required Training: All troops must have a troop First Aider, with current First aid and CPR cards. All troops must have an adult present who has completed Troop Camp Certification Levels 1 and 2. (Leaders who are attending with just their daughters are exempt.)
More information: The full registration packet will be posted online. In it, you will find detailed information including directions to the camp, the schedule, and so forth. Troop camping assignments will be available a week or two before the encampment.
