At the height of the summer at Potomac Woods, Pandora finds that nothing beats time spent around the fire with new friends and a healthy serving of smores.

Hey! Im Froggy and I am the youth leadership co-ordinator for 2024!
Although i was never a Girl Scout as a kid, I spent my summers and weekends camping with the British ACF. I love camp and all things outdoors but in my free time you can find me watching (Or making) films. This summer I am super exited to see our young leaders grow into their roles; and help them have their best summer yet!
