Don't know about the girls but I am exhausted

n

I would say from all they did they had a blast camping. Just a quick run down of their events:

They cooked most of the meals
sang at the campfire
made smores
worked on some badges (still have to finish up on some but did great)
2 hour hike
2 hours of playing on stage
meltdown tag
snacks (healthy)
played on the stage some more
cleaned dishes
learned about measuring (cups)
Learned to crack eggs

Decided how to spend some of the money they are making with the cookie sales (lunch today at Mcdonalds, badges at the Badge store, shirts for our non leader volunteers who went camping, and our camping trip in March) They did very good
invited the ranger and his daughter to lunch and got to enjoy a wonderful presentation by a 12 year vet. scout.
learned about cooking hamburgers over a wood fire
the juniors learned some first aid while the brownies worked on a math badge
They did most of the troop house clean up (rooms, bathrooms, sweeping the floor, taking our gear to the porch, and working with the Ranger as he inspected our camp area.
The girls then got the wheelbarrels and took all the gear to our cars.

They truly learned and understand the three Cs of Girl Scouting
Courage, Confidence, and Character

You should be very proud of your girls I am
