Scouting in Summer
Girl Scout membership is year-round. All girls need to do to qualify for the
Scouting in Summer patch is to do three Girl Scout-related activities.
These activities can be:
Done individually
Done as a troop
Can be a council-sponsored program
Can be an activity you plan on your own relating to Girl Scouting
Can be a journey, legacy badge, or skill builder you do over the summer
To order patches go to https://gswny.wufoo.com/forms/2016-scouting-in-summer-patches/.

Core Camp (look for Core camp programs in the 2016 camp catalog)
Troop leaders if you are looking for a great troop camp experience to do with your girls don’t forget about Core camping at Camp Timbercrest! As we all know troop camping is a great way for leaders and their girls to experience the wonders and excitement of the outdoors. At GSWNY we want to provide as many opportunities as possible for leaders and girls to experience the great outdoors. Core camp can provide that experience. Need a camp catalog – download your copy at http://
www.gswny.org/registration or call our office at 1 888 937 6410 to request a catalog.
Core Camp is the perfect setting for leaders who want to take their girls troop camping without the responsibility of providing program, meals or having trained/certified adults. At Camp Timbercrest we will do it all for you. All troop leaders have to do is provide the necessary child to adult supervision ratio. You and your girls can participate in as much or as little programming as you choose. Look for dates and programs themes coming soon in the 2016 camp catalog. Here is what our leaders had to say about their first time core camping experience. “My girls loved it and can't wait to go back”, “I thought it was amazing, much better than the over the weekend troop camping you use to offer.” “It's great for all and a super great chance for the girls to see what camp is like”, “We had a wonderful time! I'd go again in a heartbeat. My girls loved it and loved the counselors who made everything so much fun.”
For more information on Core Camp please contact Janet DePetrillo, Director of Outdoor Program
