Girl Scout Junior Encampment

The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Green Hat Society is sponsoring and staffing a camping overnight at Camp Libbey for Girl Scout Juniors. The girls will work to earn the “Green Hat Society” badge, an “Our Council’s Own” badge. This badge is designed to build a bridge between Girl Scout Juniors and Green Scouts, giving Green Scouts an opportunity to share their songs, traditions, ceremonies, Girl Scouting experiences, and camping expertise. It is an awesome camping experience for troops invited to attend (only 18-24 Girl Scout Juniors will be invited to attend).

The companion website, www.understandingrace.org, includes youth-produced video, interactive games and quizzes, as well as an open blog that takes participants deeper into the exhibition content. The companion educational materials for middle and high school correlate exhibit content with national science and social studies education standards.
