A new strategy is being developed for servicing Individual Girls (girls not in troops) who would like to participate in Product Sales.…and, we need your help!

Individual Girl Product Sales Coordinators are needed. The responsibility of this person is to both handle the orders of  Individual Girls and coordinate a way for them to get their products. The goal is to have a volunteer from each community work with Individual Girls within their community.

Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , for more information. The benefits will be bountiful for both you and the Individual Girls.

Thank you for all you do!

Despite missing the Friday night activities at Ocky due to their 8th grade dances, the girls from Cadette Troop 222 were able to rise themselves out of bed at 5:45 am on Saturday morning to head to their favorite event of the year — Ocky (now that's dedication to an event)! A fun filled day was had as we met the rest of the Girl Scout campers from the Colonial Region for breakfast, settled into our cabins, set up the crafts and made our way through all the fun of the day — tie-dying, rock wall, ropes course, swimming, boating and preparing for our turn to run the skit night.

A conversation about the cabin decorating with pajama pants, jeans, and various pants while pre-planning for the event was followed by a comment from one of our moms on how she had a roll of caution tape that read, 'Fire Line, Do Not Cross.'  Yes, we took that comment and rolled it right into a whole 'Hot Pants' theme for the weekend — cabin decorating, outfits, and skit night theme.

Troop 2780 had a great time at Camp Ocky from June 3 — June 5, 2011! The girls ate home cooked meals prepared by the camp chef, performed and watched funny skits, crossed the swamp over a rope bridge and balancing beam, climbed a huge rock wall and participated in archery. They also swam in the lake, tie-dyed shirts, did arts and crafts, shopped at the camp store, participated in a beautiful bridging ceremony with candles over the water, and most importantly bonded with their sister Girl Scouts.
