From the backyard to the backcountry,<br />
Girl Scouts has a long, storied, and<br />
successful history of getting girls<br />
outdoors.<br />
In fact, many Girl Scouts tell us “c<strong>amp</strong>ing trips”<br />
are one of the best things about their Girl Scout<br />
experience. It’s true: connecting with nature in<br />
a girl-led setting is a big benefit of belonging to<br />
Girl Scouts. Studies show that girls today are not<br />
spending nearly enough time outdoors.<br />
Technology and structured activities leave less<br />
time for girls to get outside and enjoy nature. But<br />
as a Girl Scout, she’ll have plenty of opportunities<br />
to create her own outdoor adventures and<br />
develop a lifelong appreciation for nature and the<br />
out-of-doors—whether with her troop, at c<strong>amp</strong>,<br />
or with friends and family.<br />
And that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts<br />
get outside, they:<br />
• Discover that they can better solve problems<br />
and overcome challenges<br />
• Develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and<br />
are happier overall<br />
• Become team players and care more about<br />
protecting our environment<br />
When girls spend quality time outdoors and<br />
increase their exposure to nature, they thrive<br />
physically, emotionally, and intellectually. And<br />
there are tons of Outdoor Program opportunities<br />
for girls to choose from. Review the information<br />
below and explore this Outdoor/Summer Guide<br />
with the girls in your life. Info is also available on<br />
our website at www.citrus-gs.org. We can’t<br />
wait to see you this summer!
