Get Camp Summer-Ready | May 28–30

We need your help to get Camp Birch Trails summer-ready! Join us for a day or weekend of pitching in on projects like leaf clean-up, sweeping, and refreshing cabins so our campers can start the season strong. It’s a great service opportunity for troops or a meaningful way for families to give back to a place they love.

Meals are provided all weekend, and groups are welcome to stay overnight as long as they meet camping ratios. Come roll up your sleeves, make a difference, and help us bring camp to life for another unforgettable summer!

Looking Ahead: | Volunteer-Run Camp

Interested in running your own day or overnight camp for your service area and local troops but don't know where to start? Let us help! When partnering with our volunteer camp liason, volunteers are provided training, a director's manual, registration assistance, and other support from our council. Our staff will help you build your program, and you can see your camp appear in the Camp Guide and open for registration for Summer 2027!

Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge

You don’t need access to a national park or the woods to enjoy the outdoors! So put yourself out there with us and participate in our Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge.
