Volunteers Needed for Girl Scout Fall Fest at Camp Cedar Point in Makanda

We have some exciting news! Fall Fest on Oct. 3 at Camp Cedar Point has reached maximum capacity, with 256 girls and 128 adults attending!

Due to increased capacity, we need additional volunteers. We could use help with set up (8:30-11:30 a.m.), registration (11 a.m.-1:30 p.m.), running stations such as face painting, games, handing out guides for hikes, one match fire station, archery, crafts and more (11 a.m. -5 p.m.), and, of course, clean up (4-7 p.m. unless we get everything cleaned up super-fast!).

If you can help in any way, shape or form, please let Program Manager Anne ‘Cupquake’ Townsend know at atownsend@gsofsi.org. Thanks!
