Last weekend was my final GS Camporee as the mother / adult leader of a Senior GS. Other than the fact that it dropped into the low 30's the second night it was a blast! Our troop had 16 girls attend and the girls ran 4 events: an obstacle course for older girls, a paleontology talk - dinosaur dig for younger girls, an evening campfire and a USA Flag Burning Ceremony. Much to the adult leaders' chagrin, they voted to stay in tents rather than in cabins, so also put up and took down 7 tents and a dining fly. The campfire was my personal highlight - they found songs to sing that in all my years I never heard - but all of the girls knew. And with s'mores and banana boats the evening was a great hit!
