Nothing builds character like the Girl Scout program does. These qualities strongly impact conduct and clearly have lasting effects. Fun and adventure know no bounds for Girl Scouts. Girl Scout Camp Shawnee Program Center Ringgold, Pittsylvania County, VA Enjoy the great outdoors at beautiful Camp Shawnee, located 8 miles east of Danville. This 182-acre site was once a farm and now provides Girl Scouts a place for programs and camping.
Girls can find signs of the site's early history in a one-room cabin, cemeteries and old farmhouse.
There are trails to hike, the Environmental Education Center to explore to earn the EEC Patch, and blue birds to count on the Bluebird Trail to earn the special Bluebird Patch. The 16-acre lake at Shawnee is a major attraction and can be the site of nature studies, swimming, fishing, canoeing, and paddle boating. For winter camping, troops can choose the winterized Multipurpose Building, which is built to be accessible for persons using wheelchairs. The camp is available for usage by groups outside of Girl Scouts. On my honor, I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
