Backpacks, Bugs & History

Want to set out on a backpacking trip, get up close with the bugs and wildlife that call our region home, or travel back in time to explore the historic Foxfire House? Each of these programs offers Girl Scouts their own way to build skills, confidence, and a love for the outdoors.
Great outdoor experiences start with great leaders. Whether you are an experienced hiker or just starting to explore outdoor programs, we will provide the training, resources, and support you need to lead safe, fun, and enriching activities for your Girl Scouts.
We invite you to share your love for the outdoors with our Girl Scouts. Click here to learn about becoming a volunteer! Please fill out the Volunteer-Led Event Promotion Request Form, if you would like to facilitate a Volunteer-led event.
Have questions about getting girls outdoors? Reach out to our Member Services team at 800-692-7816 or MemberServices@gshpa.org.
It’s almost time to explore! Watch for the upcoming challenge and earn your fun patch.
