Camp helps girls try new things, make great friends, and feel good about who they are.
Most girls become different people while they are at camp, more outgoing, more accepting of differences, and more accepting of themselves. And Girl Scouts are an important asset to the community. Girls plan and carry out service projects which will benefit a communities in new ways. Girls feel good knowing they are contributing to society.
