DEFINITION OF GIRL SCOUT CAMPING:

An experience that provides a creative, educational opportunity in group living in the out-of-doors. Its purpose is to utilize Girl Scout program, trained leadership, and the resources of natural surroundings to contribute to each camper's mental, physical, social, and spiritual growth.

OBJECTIVES OF GIRL SCOUT CAMPING:

2. To develop resourcefulness, initiative, self-reliance, and recognition of the worth and dignity of each individual.

3. To provide opportunities for practice in democratic living.

4. To develop a sense of responsibility, qualities of leadership, and an awareness of the capabilities of all people.

5. To provide an inner satisfaction, a sense of awe and wonder, and deep enjoyment of the out-of-doors for both girl and leader.

6. To provide a sense of accomplishment.

7. To stimulate each girl's and leader's awareness of the scope of the natural world.

8. To develop the individual's sense of responsibility for conserving the natural world.
