MONTESSORI GIRL SCOUT TROOP GOES ON CAMP OUT

/

This past weekend, the Montessori Girl Scout Troop went on their first camp out! The troop went to Magen’s Bay and camped under a beautiful full moon. The scouts worked on outdoor skills such as, building a campfire, pitching a tent, and going on hikes. The girls earned badges, cooking each meal, learning to tie knots, and making sure to leave no trace. The troop played camp games, sang camp songs, and loved roasting marshmallows! The scouts had fun getting outdoors and into nature. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us at girlscouts44511@gmail.com.

"I vividly remember attending my Brownie meetings, saying the Girl Scout pledge with three fingers held high and of course earning badges" said Pam Engle, parent at Virgin Islands Montessori School and Peter Gruber International Academy (VIMSIA), who recently started Girl Scout Over Seas Troop #44511 on the East End. "I still have my old Brownie vest with badges and pins and can't wait to get my daughter started and help empower young girls on island" she added.

The troop will meet every other week beginning in May and is open to girls in the community from K-5. "The support from not only the school but the community has been amazing! I was worried we wouldn't have enough parent volunteers but was proven wrong. We’ve already received various parent sign-ups - I guess many moms were also Girl Scouts and want to pass the opportunity or tradition down to their daughters" explain Engle.

Through the Girl Scout program —a variety of fun and challenging activities, like earning badges, selling cookies, going on exciting trips, exploring the outdoors, and doing community service projects. At Girl Scouts, girls will have the opportunity to lead their own adventure , and work with other girls to pick and choose the exciting, hands-on activities they want to do. The idea is to learn by doing!
