2020 SUMMER
PROGRAM GUIDE
GIRL SCOUTS
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Get out and play Buckingham!
At Girl Scouts, girls are always counting down to the next adventure they’ll go on together. Maybe it’s artistic. Maybe it’s an experiment. Maybe it’s getting outside or helping the community. With us, you’ll make a bunch of new friends and have a ton of new experiences that show you how exciting the world is, and how awesome you are, over and over again.
Buckingham County Girl Scouts are accepting K-8 girls and Adult Volunteers to join us in our journey.
Please contact: Deirdre KellnerMembership Manager, NEdkellner@gsvs.org434-382-8013www.gsvsc.org
Our MissionGirl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who
make the world a better place.
The Girl Scout Leadership ExperienceWe have identified three keys to leadership: girls discover themselves
and their values; connect with others; and take action to make the world a better place. At Girl Scouts, everything centers on the girl: activities are girl-led, which gives girls the opportunity to learn by
doing in a cooperative learning environment.

Tye Overlook Wagon
Take a wagon ride to the scenic Tye Overlook and enjoy the prettiest view for miles around. And while we're up there, we'll discuss nature, local history, and other activities to enjoy in and around the park. There is a short (150 yard) walk to the overlook so please wear appropriate footwear. Pre-registration required by phone at 434-933-8527 or at our Visitor Center. Rides are $3.00 per person or $8.00 per family. Sorry, no pets allowed on the wagon. The ride will be weather permitting.
Crewe Astronomy
Join the "Crewe" for some star gazing. Crewe Astronomy Club will have telescopes so you can get an up-close view of planets and galaxies. People have been fascinated by the night sky for thousands of years. This has led us to create stories about the constellations and make amazing discoveries about our universe. The "Crewe" will show you a variety of stars and many other things that glitter at night, and explain what they are made of and how they got their name. Bring your own binoculars, or borrow them from the park, to see these amazing wonders of the night sky.
Whose Track is That?
Who was there? Where did they go? What might they have been doing? Just because we don't always spot them, we know the animals are around by the tracks they leave behind. We will take a look at different animal tracks you might find here in the park and what other clues might help you figure out what was walking about when you weren't looking. We will make a plaster mold of an animal track you can take home as a keepsake. Each plaster mold will cost $2.
Leaf PoundingThis program will be combining science with art. Starting with a short walk to collect several different leaves along the way, we will pound each leaf onto fabric creating your own work of art. While on our walk, we will discuss what gives these leaves their color. Meet at Green Hill pond. Free!
