GIRL ATTENDEES: This campout is open to all 1st-7th grade Bluebonnet Circle Service Unit Girl Scout Troops. For those troops with older Girl Scouts, a campout is being organized at Rocky River Ranch for November 10-12, 2023. ADULT ATTENDEES: Please limit adult attendees to Safety-Wise number when at all possible. All adult attendees MUST be registered Girl Scout adults with completed and verified background checks. At least one adult per troop must have Let's Go 1 & 2 training and current CPR/First Aid training.

ACTIVITIES: Troops will have 5-6 activities scheduled on Saturday. A link to possible activities can be found here: https://www.outdoorschool.com/champions-retreat/groups/girl-scouts-events/ Please note: not all activities are available for all age ranges or offered every weekend. We will handle registration for activities one month prior to campout directly with leaders of troops attending. In addition, we will have a Friday night welcome party with a SWAPs contest. More info to be shared on this party and SWAPs contest later. For more info about SWAPS, visit https://www.girlscouts.org/en/members/for-volunteers/traditions-and-ceremonies.html#swaps MEALS: Friday night dinner is on-your-own. Either eat before you come or bring a sack dinner with you. Meals will be provided in the dining all for all 3 Saturday meals and Sunday breakfast. LODGING: Troops will be cabin camping (cabins are not climate controlled but do have electricity). Lodging will be assigned based on maximizing attendance. All cabins sleep 12-14 people. We will be keeping troops together as much as possible. Please be advised that all troops not filling an entire cabin themselves will be required to share cabins with other troops. Priority will be placed on putting age group troops together if at all possible (ex: Daisy troops will share cabins with other Daisy troops).

REGISTRATION: **Leaders, please begin discussions with your troop regarding signing up for this campout now.**

Priority registration will close on September 14, 2023. Please register by this date to ensure that your troop has space on the campout.
