Get ready! We are having a spring Neighborhood Encampment again this year at Willow Springs, a beautiful Girl Scout camp located outside Prescott, about 1 1/2 hours from Scottsdale. It's a very large camp and I'm sure you all will love it when you see it. Most everyone will sleep in a cabin or building, although there are two tent units (dome tents are available).
Our theme: "Medieval Knights." We will plan a wide game on Saturday to reflect the theme. Brownies will have wide game in the morning, and Juniors will have it in the afternoon. The remainder of the time is wide open for troop activities, so you can take a hike, work on a badge, or whatever you wish. Saturday evening, we will have a campfire for all to enjoy. The challenge course is available for troops aged 12 or in 6th grade. I am also arranging for an archery instructor for Juniors and up. We need volunteers to help plan the program. Please email Lee (lee@reality.com).
Meals! Saturday breakfast, dinner, and Sunday breakfast are provided, and each troop will be cooking their own meals for Saturday lunch at this encampment. This will give you a chance to be as simple or as extravagant as you wish. Feel free to buddy up with another troop for a great bridging or friendship building opportunity!) Troops who wish to cook out instead of eating in the lodge can subtract $1.50 per person per meal.
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 you and your troop.
Patches! Please note the form for the Patch Design Contest. Once again, we will be selecting the best design created by our girls for our Encampment patch. Designs are due at the encampment and the girls will vote on their patch.
More information at the Neighborhood Meeting! The full registration packet will be distributed in June. In it, you will find detailed information including directions to the camp, the schedule, the menu, and so forth. Troop camping assignments will be available a week or two before the encampment.
