Encounter the Wild Weekend
Encounter the Wild Weekend is an immersive outdoor experience where Girl Scouts build confidence, leadership, and outdoor skills through adventure. During this exciting weekend, girls explore the 8 Outdoor Principles through hands-on activities, nature exploration, team challenges, and wilderness experiences. From learning how to care for the environment and respect wildlife to developing teamwork and problem-solving skills, every activity inspires girls to become confident leaders and responsible stewards of the outdoors.
