Troop 27369 would like to invite you to join us as we travel to different parks or nature spots in our area. If your whole troop wishes to join us, we ask that you bring along enough adults to watch your troop. If individuals wish to join us, we ask that an adult stay with the Girl Scout. Tag a longs are welcome as long as the adult stays and pays any payments. No food or transportation provided.
As different locations offer different experiences, we hope to learn more about the habitat we are living in, some of the unique land features of our area, seeing our National resources, and getting some exercise while having fun and sharing sisterhood with each other!
Each Park offers unique experiences, but several offer a Junior Ranger Program that we will be doing, along with other activities specific to that location.
All locations and times subject to weather. Leaving times will differ based on how far away the location is.
