Excursion: Horseshoe Canyon
Spring Adventure Girl Scout Style! What a weekend it was for 8 Girl Scout Cadettes and a few of our trained adventure staff! They took a road trip to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Arkansas where they spent 2 days and 2 nights camping and rock climbing! They learned how to make a fire, pitch a tent and survive in nature in below freezing temps! In total they climbed 7 different routes ranging from grade 5.7-5.9! Now that’s a Girl Scout adventure!

Our community partner and program staff will be leading these activities with more choices than ever before. Think of this expo as multiple community partner experiences in one venue / one day. In addition, Girl Scouts will also get to check out and be inspired by our 47 high-achieving Gold Award Girl Scouts through their incredible project displays.

During this resident camp, Girl Scouts train alongside female firefighters and law enforcement personnel to learn firefighting and EMS skills, practice defensive tactics, perform physical fitness drills and develop investigative abilities. They are mentored by remarkable women who are breaking down barriers and stereotypes in what has traditionally been male-dominated fields.
Throughout this intense program, girls grow even more courageous, strong, confident and capable, ready to become our change-makers for tomorrow and role models for their fellow Girl Scouts.
