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