On Saturday Girl Scouts of all ages visited Parsons Leadership Center for our Outdoor Survival Skills day!

Girls (and their adults) were able to try archery, navigation, outdoor cooking, shelter building and rock wall/bouldering. 🏹🔥

This is one of our yearly programs and we hope to see you in 2027!

📣Exciting update: the date for Desert Dreams has changed!

Desert Dreams will now be happening October 18-19, still at the Parsons Leadership Center. This overnight experience is perfect to dip your toes in on an overnight camp experience. We'll learn about all our beautiful desert has to offer and participate in some traditional camp activities, like slingshots or hiking.

Speaking of dipping our toes in and appreciating the desert, October can still be a hot month in Phoenix, so we might have the pool open for this event! (Weather permitting, of course. We unfortunately do not control the weather, but we can keep our fingers crossed 🤞.)

Register today, and keep your eyes out for a confirmation email a few weeks before the event that will tell you whether you need to pack a bathing suit or not!
