Panama Trip

Event Success Stories

New this year, the program department planned and implemented a series of archery clinics at Camp Winnecomac.

During one of the sessions, a Girl Scout needed to feel more confident in trying archery. They didn’t think they could ever hit the target. WIth expert guidance and practice, they hit the target and were excited and proud to have stuck with it and kept trying.

A total of 30 Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors joined the Door County Adventure Center for a day full of challenges to overcome individually and as a group. Groups rotated through a climb, a balancing activity, and a group rope swing. Girl Scouts also tackled the zip line tour and flying squirrel!

Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts joined Michigan Tech University to earn the Think Like an Engineer Journey! Girl Scouts were mailed supplies to grow plants using the hydroponic method. Hydroponics is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants, usually crops, without soil, by using mineral nutrient solutions in an aqueous solvent.

Brownies joined middle-grade author Eileen MoskowitzPalma virtually for the Brownie: My Family Story workshop! Eileen helped each Brownie explore their family stories, share where their family is from, complete a family story tree and share sentimental family objects. All participants received Eileen’s book, a bookmark, a friendship bracelet, and a special handwritten letter from Eileen!

Cadettes from all over our council attended Cadettes: Coding for Good at Appleton North High School. Cadettes learned to code in a comfortable and engaging environment, as well as unearth the deep secrets of why women are so underrepresented in such a critical field.
