Girl Scouts - Troop Camping Update training

Leaders,

 

I have been talking to the training dept. at Council regarding the Troop Camping Update training.  They are reluctant to come to the neighborhood to conduct this training because this same training is being offered at Council on Monday, March 17, 2008 at 7:00pm.  If you need troop camping update before the neighborhood campout, please contact the Council office to register for this training. 

 

Thanks,

Girl Scouts - nature activity possibilities

Opportunities at Howard Christensen Nature Center

 

The HCNC is a beautiful facility off of 17 mile road, west of Cedar Springs.  There are many opportunities to work on badges, hike on nature trails, etc.  Your children may have gone on field trips there; I know mine did. 

 

Family focused weekend activities You can take part in these activities at the Nature Center on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.  These are a few of their upcoming scheduled events.  But they have events every month, so you might want to check their website in the future.
