2008 Girl Scout Camporee

The girls had the best time climbing all the beautiful trees around Huntington Beach. I snapped this photo of Lilly during one of her climbs.




Brownie Troop 591 went camping at Huntington Beach State Park and we had the best time! The girls all loved it and it was the first time camping for many of us. We built a campfire and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores. The theme this year was Hawaii and the girls learned all about Hawaii and the Island culture. We had an authentic Hawaiian fire show and Hula dancing. We all dressed in luau wear and watched the show in utter amazement. What a great couple of days we had! The girls learn so much about sisterhood and other important life skills. Thanks to Lori Lowrie, our fearless troop leader, and Carrie Sessions for the great accommodations (she had a totally decked-out tent and all kinds of camping equipment that made our lives in the forest so much easier. And Jackie Davis for being such a great tent-mate!
