I Love Camp Golden Valley Patch

Daisy, Brownie & Junior Girl Scouts and Girls 11-17

A patch program designed to help Girl Scouts learn more about Camp Golden Valley and become familiar with its resident camp program.

Complete 6 of the following activities, including numbers 1 & 2. Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts must also do requirement 5.

1. Using the Camp Brochure, go over all the resident camp sessions available for your troop/group age level.
2. Share the information on the Troop/Group Resident Camp Fact Sheet with your troop/group.
3. Invite a girl who has attended Resident Camp, either from your troop/group or another troop/group, to share her positive camp experiences at a troop/group meeting.
4. Have parents attend your troop/group meeting when you do requirements 1, 2 and 3.
5. Have each girl in your troop/group complete a Resident Camp Coloring Sheet and take it home to show her parent(s) or guardian(s). The coloring sheet is on the back of the parent/guardian letter.
6. Make a poster about Resident Camp and display it in your town at a store, library, school, etc. Include the council's name, address, and phone number so interested people can contact the office for more information.
7. Do a service project for Camp Golden Valley. Example: clean windows, work on nature trail, clean chairs in lodge, pick up litter, repair tents, etc. Please check with Camp Ranger before starting your project to okay dates, etc.
8. Have at least two girls from your troop/group who have attended Resident Camp recruit buddies to go to camp with them next summer. (Buddies do not have to be from the troop/group, or be a Girl Scout).
9. As a troop/group, go visit another troop/group who is not working on this patch and share with them what you have learned about Camp Golden Valley.
10. Go to Camp Golden Valley for a one or two-night weekend camping trip.
11. Have 50% of your troop/group register to attend Resident Camp.
