Older Troops Needed to Run Haunted Camp!

Haunted Camp is an event where Older Girl Scouts host Halloween stations for Daisy & Brownie Girl Scouts.  While every year is a bit different, stations usually include a haunted house and trail, a craft, a song/storytelling session, a game session and a snack break.  Older Girl Scout troops are responsible for planning and hosting their station.

The program is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 at Camp Torqua with set up on Friday night October 17.    Troops are responsible for providing girls and adults to work a station for the whole day and may stay Friday and/or Saturday night at camp.  Troops that wish to work the Haunted House can begin their decorating on the Sunday before the event on October 11 after 12 (noon).

 We will be offering a Zombie Run on Sunday, October 19 for Juniors – Ambassadors.  Older girl troops that helped on Saturday or with set up and clean up for the Zombie Run on Sunday are welcome to participate in the Zombie Run for a reduced rate of just $7.

 

The first planning meeting will be held September 16 at the Pumpkin Patch Lodge at Camp Torqua from 6:30-8:30 p.m.  At least one adult and not more than 3 girls from each troops need to attend this meeting.
