Local girls invited to enjoy ‘Outdoor Adventure Day’

Girl Scouts

GLENVILLE, W.Va. — It’s the perfect time of year to get outside – cool temperatures, falling leaves and fall fun.

Girls in kindergarten through 12th grade are invited to attend “Outdoor Adventure Day” to experience all of that and more at Cedar Creek State Park on Saturday, Nov. 20.

Hosted by the Girl Scouts of Black Diamond, the event is open and free to all interested girls, who will enjoy an assortment of crafts and adventures.

Girls in kindergarten through fifth grade will work to complete an outdoor art project while girls in grades six through 12 will enjoy working on their Hiking and Trail Adventure Badges, practicing “Leave No Trace” camping techniques and learning outdoor cooking skills.

Upon completion of the latter tasks, the girls will earn a Girl Scout Trailblazer pin. Future trailblazer activities will include ziplining, rock climbing and more.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Membership Delivery Manager Natalie Huggins at Natalie.Huggins@bdgsc.org or 304-488-8184 to register by Nov. 18.

Caregivers are encouraged to accompany their girls to Cedar Creek State Park, located at 2947 Cedar Creek Road, Glenville, WV, 26351 on the day of the event.
