The remaining time is open for your own troop's activities, so you can take a hike, work on a badge, prepare gourmet meals, or even give your girls some down time.  Whatever you wish!  We'll have a campfire Saturday night.  

Meals:   We will serve Saturday Breakfast, Saturday Dinner, and Sunday Breakfast. All troops will cook Friday Dinner and Saturday Lunch and any snacks they want.  Feel free to buddy up with another troop!  This is a great bridging or friendship building opportunity.

Swaps:  We will have a swap exchange.  Please prepare your swaps around the camp theme or a wilderness/camping/outdoors theme.  We suggest that each girl bring at least ten swaps.
