Girl Scouts - Program

The chance to go camping is often one of the reasons girls choose to join Girl Scouts. Audubon Council offers a variety of camping opportunities at Camp Marydale, as well as, information on other camp sites. Camping can help girls development important life skills that are necessary to successfully handle various age level challenges. Living and working as a group allows campers to put into practice important decision-making and problem solving skills. The council is committed to the reinforcement of positive life skills in all its camp programs.
