Camp and Outdoors
Girl Scouts are forces of nature. And they were meant for outdoor adventures.
Whether they’re swimming in a lake for the first time at summer camp, discovering the wildlife in their own backyards, or being a citizen scientist and observing bees in their local park, every outdoor adventure grows a Girl Scout’s “I’ve got this” attitude. And once they unlock that confidence, they’ll aim as high as the stars they see outside their cabin window.
With Girl Scout campgrounds across the country and council-powered outdoor programs, there are lots of options for Girl Scouts to choose their own adventure year-round.
Because growing a love for outdoors extends beyond the boundaries of her local summer camp!
From horseback riding to archery lessons, bird-watching to her first hike in the woods, every outdoor activity builds confidence.

See your closest national park in a different way through the Girl Scout Ranger Program. Troop leaders and families can arrange for activities like hiking, biking, wildlife watching, and guided tours in National Park Service sites across the U.S., including monuments, seashores, and urban sites. Girl Scouts can even design their own project to along with their Girl Scout Journey, a badge, or Take Action project—and earn patches and certificates from the National Park Service.
