Every year, Girl Scouts explore the natural wonders found across our country during the Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend. On September 9th and 10th, Girl Scouts nationwide, along with their troops, friends, and family, will celebrate our shared love of the outdoors. Use this guide at the State Park of your choice to help plan your adventure, inspire your activities (earn some badge steps along the way!) and reflect on your experience.
Know Before You Go Review the following section with you Girl Scouts before you go on your State Park adventure. Remember, keeping yourself and the environment safe is extremely important during any outdoor experience.
Planning The first step is to decide which State Park you want to visit! Search for nearby parks on your own or see our suggestions on the Girl Scouts Love State Parks event page. Look at the things you can do at each park, including the trail maps. How long of a hike do you want to go on? Will you be camping? How about fishing? Plan your adventure ahead of time so you will be ready to have fun when you arrive.
