Whooooo? You, that's who!
Bring your sense of adventure for an indoor program all about OWLS!
After the program, we'll take an after-dark hike and use our night vision, just like owls - or almost, since they see WAY better than we do!
After hiking, cozy up to sleep indoors in our visitor center.
This program is set up for small Troops looking for an overnight experience with an outdoor component.
If your group is larger than 15, contact Broad Meadow Brook to set up your own date (other topics and Try-Its are available).
Trained overnight leader and first aider required with each group.
This event is also open to individual Scouts and Juliette Scouts, with an adult chaperone.

The cost is $16 per Scout and $16 per adult/leader.
Registration is until Nov. 5th or when 40 people have registered.
To register and for more information contact, Broad Meadow Brook, Martha, at 508-753-6087 x22 or mgach@massaudubon.org

Council Offering April School Vacation Week Camp Days in Waltham; But No Bus Service This year

Girl Scout Council of Eastern Massachusetts is again offering day camp 4 days during April School vacation.
Each camp has a specific theme and will be held at Cedar Hill in Waltham from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost for each day is $30.
Below is a summary on each day's activities:
April 21: POP STAR CAMP: Create your own pop star persona at camp! Learn how to be a true diva on stage. Create pop star jewelry. End your day with a pop star performance by other campers. The stage is yours!
April 22: Mission Earth Camp: Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Save Planet Earth from global pollution. Master the eco-friendly challenges! Can you recycle more materials than the average girl? Can you complete the trash triathlon? Yes, you can!
April 23: Camp Fabulous: Do you have what it takes to be a fabulous camper? We think so! Come experience why camp is so marvelous! Try outdoor cooking, games, songs and crafts while spending time with friends outdoors.
April 24: Adventure Camp: Do you crave a little adventure in your life? Could you hit the bull's eye in archery if your team depended on you? Boulder across a rock wall or walk the tight wire? Test your limits in this adventure-filled day.

Unfortunately this year, Council has eliminated bus service to the Waltham-based school vacation week camps from the Framingham/Natick area.

COUNCIL's reasoning: "As for April Vacation Camp, we ran buses through Framingham the last 2 years. We had 4-6 girls on the bus. It was not cost effective to continue at this rate."
