Programs in Review

Take a look at some highlights and feedback from programs recently!

Touchdowns and Tagalongs

On Saturday, September 19, Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors were able to join the DC Divas for a day of fun, age-appropriate drills, and activities designed to introduce the fundamentals of football.

“My Girl Scout’s least favorite part was that it was only one day!”

“She loved playing Flag Football and has asked to play again. I was very impressed with this event and eager to attend more events after seeing how well this event was put together for the girls. Loved the jersey's they provided for the girls and how engaging it was for the kids.”

“Great event that was well organized”

“My Girl Scout’s favorite part was learning that girls play flag football and her jersey she got to take home.”

“They both loved the jerseys. I honestly couldn't get them out of the jerseys. They loved that special touch. They loved playing the sport and having fun.”

“I loved the program, and so did our Daisy and our Brownie.”

Girl Scouts and Gears

On Saturday, September 12, Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, and their Families gathered at Anacostia River Trail for a bike ride together! Girl Scouts could join rides of varying distances depending on their preference. The Washington Area Bicyclist Association joined as part of the event helping to ensure that riders were prepared and safe on their ride!

“Thank you for the bike check. The guy doing it spent the time to fix our seat.”

“It was fun to ride with other scouts. Daughter loved doing a challenge.”

“She loved riding her bike with other Girl Scouts”

“Bravo on an amazing job organizing! Thanks so much for a fun day. We appreciate that you incorporated feedback from last year.”

"The WABA leaders were wonderful and it was nice that there were bikes available to borrow if needed. It'd be nice to do something similar in a location closer to NW DC but understand that options may be more challenging. It was fun riding along the Anacostia.”

Me and My Fam: Family Camping Weekend

Over Labor Day Weekend, Girl Scouts of all ages and their Families gathered at Camp Winona for a Family Camping weekend! Activities included target sports, firebuilding, arts and crafts, and more! Some families came for just the day of activities while others stayed overnight in one of the camp's glen shelters!

"This was fantastic, the best event I've been to."

"When are you doing this again? We would come every time."

"Our girls, when we arrived, they were worried like, 'oh, there's spiders, there's no internet.' Now they can't wait to come back."

"The teens teaching fire building were incredible!"

Butterfly Garden Adventure

On Saturday September 19, Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors gathered at Glass House Butterfly Garden and Farm in Page County, VA for a day of learning about butterflies and exploring the location!

"The Butterflies! they loved catching them and seeing the different stages from larva to butterfly. They most loved hunting through the garden for them. "
