The weekend of September 12-14, Girl Scouts Love State Parks is being celebrated by councils across the country. Through this event, Girl Scouts will experience the great outdoors in planned engagements just for Girl Scouts hosted by state parks. Virginia State Parks events can be found below and HERE. Girls who participate are eligible to purchase the national patch ($2.00; worn on back of vest/sash).
ALSO you can earn a FREE patch (pictured above) from our very
own Virginia State Parks by participating in any
ranger-led/volunteer-led program or stewardship opportunity or by
completing an age-appropriate activity within this FREE
Girl Scouts Love VA State Parks Self-Guided Patch Program
booklet.
ALSO FREE parking at our state
