Join the VA Tech Campus Scouts at Camp Tuk-A-Way for a fun-filled weekend where Juniors and Cadettes Troops will have the opportunity to complete some requirements from the Outdoor Journey. While the entire journey will not be earned during this weekend, girls will take part in activities that will help them develop confidence, teamwork, and outdoor skills. The Campus Scouts will provide a campfire and snacks on Friday evening (eat dinner before coming on Friday or bring packed dinners); each troop should come prepared to do a skit or song at the campfire. On Saturday, breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided. All eating utensils will be supplied. Each Girl Scout needs to bring a water bottle and light backpack.
