During the summer, the scouts attend day camp. Other annual activities include Christmas tree and popcorn sales, the Blue and Gold banquet, and the Pinewood Derby. This year, the Cub Scouts are excited to be working with the American Legion to plant trees in the community of Lester Prairie. The Girl Scouts have been preparing girls to seek and meet challenges in our ever-changing society since 1912. The Lester Prairie area Girl Scouts meet approximately twice a month during the school year, as well as taking part in Girl Scout camp during the summer months.
Membership is open to girls in kindergarten through twelfth grade.
During the year, the Girl Scouts participate in a father-daughter banquet, cookie sales, and a local day camp at Baylor Park. They also provide babysitting for the bloodmobile, put together birthday packets for the poor, and make children's activity bags for use at the medical clinic in Lester Prairie, among other activities. There are yearly awards presented in April. Established in 1972, the group's current membership stands at 12.
