About this organization
Mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. For over 100 years, Girls Scouts has provided girls of all ages, circumstances, and abilities with opportunities to discover their world, connect with the people and communities around them, and take action to make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA) serves 26,000 girls in grades K-12 and nearly 15,000 adult volunteers annually in 178 eastern Massachusetts communities, establishing it as the largest leadership development organization specifically for girls in the Commonwealth.
About
Outdoor and camp programming - Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts has a robust offering of outdoor and camp experiences for girls, volunteers, troops and Girl Scout families. When girls have the opportunity to spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure to nature, they thrive physically and emotionally. GSEMA continues the outdoor fun through the summer by offering six-day camp opportunities at Cedar Hill, Favorite, Maude Eaton, Rice Moody, Runels, and Wind-in-the-Pines, and four resident camps with unique features at Favorite (sailing), Runels (back packing trips), Wabasso (horseback riding), and Wind-in-the-Pines (high adventure elements). We also offer troop and family camp weekends throughout the summer at Camp Menotomy. All camps offer traditional camp experiences such as opening ceremonies, outdoor cooking, campfire sing-alongs, nature activities and crafts. Throughout the troop year, volunteers, families and girls can participate in a variety of outdoor experiences that are intentionally progressive to meet the outdoor comfort level of all girls, volunteers and families. Members might start out at a day program such as the outdoor fall festival- suitable for families and younger troops. As girls and volunteers explore outdoor experiences they may attend programs like Outdoor Explorers, Gals Night Out or Troop Camping. These programs offer girls and adults the opportunity to learn new skills, challenge by choice, and develop teamwork and self-confidence. Outdoor activities might include environmental stewardship and education, archery, boating, hiking, low and high ropes challenge course, or climbing wall. Last year we provided services and programs for almost 7,800 participants who took part in the summer camp and over 5,000 who took part in our year-round outdoor programs.
