Girl Scout Adventures at LSNC!

Girl Scout Programs

Your troop may choose a two-hour program or an overnight program from the topics listed below. We will complete most, if not all, of the requirements but the badge itself is not included. Come join us for a wonderful experience enjoying the great outdoors!

Badge	Level	Description
3 Cheers for Animals!	Daisy	Here's your chance to lend a helping hand to animals. Learn what animals need every day to survive as you hike through Black Pond Woods. Then learn how we care for animals in LSNC's Critter House.
Senses	Daisy - Brownie	There's a great big world out there full of wonderful things to hear, see, smell, taste, and feel. Come and discover the natural world with all your 5 senses!
Hiker	Brownie	What are the 10 essentials? Should I take a map? We'll tackle these questions and practice our new skills on a hike through Black Pond Woods.
Letterboxer	Brownie	Cracking codes, word scrambles, and riddles will lead us to LSNC's hidden letterbox! Only the witty few find and stamp this secret treasure. Will your troop take the challenge. Scouts will need to create a letterbox on their own to complete this badge--but we will get them started!
Bugs!	Brownie	Under logs, on flowers, in the grass – bugs are everywhere! Roll up your sleeves and be prepared to track down different bugs. We'll find out what they're doing when we're not looking and how important they are.*
Geocacher	Junior-Cadette	Jump into a world-wide treasure hunt! We'll learn how to use GPS units, find caches, and track a Travel Bug's journey.
Night Owl	Junior - Cadette	What is the world like at night? Come to LSNC to find out - we'll take a night hike to explore the woods, then meet a nocturnal animal. Scouts will need to complete a photo-collage on their own to complete this badge.
Camper	Junior - Cadette	Learn helpful camping skills as we tie knots, build fires, and discover the world at night. This program must be scheduled as an overnight. Troops should bring a simple meal to cook over the fire--click here for suggestions. LSNC will provide sticks and s’mores supplies.
Trees	Junior - Cadette	Explore the wonder and support trees provide us! Like a true naturalist, we’ll hike through the woods, identify trees, discover how they impact our every day, and record it all in our nature journal.

* Offered only in May, June, and September.
