Geneseo Girl Scout Service Unit 886 held their annual Girl Scout Day Camp the week of June 24-28, 2024. The event was held at the Geneseo Cole Cabin and was attended by 97 local Girl Scouts and was made possible by the help of over 40 volunteers.
Throughout the week, girls took part in outdoor experiences including hiking, crafts, outdoor cooking, traditional Girl Scout skills, songs, games, archery, bike riding, kayaking and fishing (supported by the Geneseo Izaak Walton League chapter). Through Girl Scouting, and their experiences at day camp, girls grow in their confidence and leadership.
Many of the girls who now volunteer in High School and college started as young elementary school campers 14 years ago. Through day camp, girls learn to respect and care for the world around them. They build lasting friendships and try new adventures. The week was a huge success, and the girls wish to thank the Geneseo Community Chest and the Geneseo Kiwanis Club for their support of this camp week.
Girl Scouting doesn't just exist during this one week at camp. Girl Scouts are active in local Geneseo troops all year long as they learn new skills, give back to our community, and have fun together. All girls are welcome and we encourage interested girls to join us this next school year!
