- Turtle Rock Trail - The Legend of Turtle Rock is as old as the Girl Scouts. Tonga Turtle was our founder Juliette Gordon Lowes pet and very close friend. One day when they were both very old, she released him into the wild telling him to find a place where he could watch over girl scouts in the outdoors. Tonga crawled all the way to our camp where he rests to this day, watching over all the girl scout campers who enjoy the outdoors! Turtle Rock is fun to climb on and is a cool space for a troop to have some down time. Please do not carve your name into the stone as it is a form of vandalism. * Turtle Rock is in major need of a Service Project - ask how your troop could help support this legendary area of our camp.
- Scout’s Own Trail - A Scouts' Own is an inspirational, informal ceremony that can be held at any troop. A Scouts' Own service is usually short, often lasting no longer than 15 minutes. They are made up of a mixture of readings, prayers, reflections and music. Many Scouts' Owns are based on a particular theme, such as friendship, using resources wisely, or fairness. This might be connected to a certain event or occasion. Have your girls pick a major theme, then ask them a question, have them each share then conclude it with a song, the Girl Scout.
