19.Cadette Troop 3122 of
Blacksburg spent a weekend
in May 2012 at the US National
Whitewater Center in Charlotte,
NC. The girls challenged
themselves through a variety
of high-adventure activities
including zip-lining, high ropes,
kayaking, paddle boarding and
whitewater rafting. The rafting
trips were particularly exciting as
the girls bounced and splashed
down Class III and IV rapids on
the world’s largest man-made
recirculating river. This troop
of 7th graders loves a good
adventure and also enjoyed
several outdoor trips closer to
home this past year, including
biking on the Virginia Creeper
Trail, caving in Giles County, and
canoeing on the New River.
20. Junior Troop 1111 of Bridgewater
went camping one weekend in
Spring 2012 at Icimani Adventure
Center. This was their first time
camping in platform tents, and 1111
was the first troop to stay at the
new Dark Hollow Unit! They enjoyed
outdoor cooking, hiking, playing
field games, painting birdhouses to
hang around the unit, and earning
their Camp Bear Patch by weeding
and planting flower beds at camp.
A great time was had by all and they
can’t wait to go back again!
21. Ambassador Troop 365 of
Staunton traveled this summer
2012 to a base camp at Costa Rica
Outward Bound in San Ramon
de Tres Rios. They went to Playa
Avellanas, where the girls received
surfing instruction, removed
invasive species and trash from
critical sea turtle nesting areas as
service projects, and (some girls
but not all) saw baby sea turtles
making their way to the ocean
immediately after hatching very
late one night. At the base camp,
they went on a zip-line tour of the
rainforest, had lunch at a local
restaurant, and went shopping at
a local artisans’ market. Girls on
the trip were Paige Bellamy, Kylie
Nabers, Karri Greenlee, Breanna
Riley, Ellen McNamara, and Nicole
Fauver; leaders were Vicki Bellamy
and Crystal Nabers.
