Note: If water levels are too low on this river
to float our boats, then we may change our float to another river
location (such as the James River). If you are unable to travel to
this new location, then refunds will be issued.
Adults
will only be accepted if spaces available are not filled by girls, and
only with paddling experience. Please let us know on registration if
you will be bringing your own boat and PFD; this is encouraged if you
are more comfortable in your own gear. All adults participating must
be registered Girl Scouts and background checked. There is a 275 lb.
weight limitation recognized for kayaks.
Adventurers Scholarship
Through the generosity of donors, a scholarship fund has been
established in honor of our group’s founder, Barbara Duerk, to help
girls participate in Adventurers activities. Requests may not be more
than $100/year, and each application will be considered on a case by
case basis. Details,
criteria and application for this scholarship fund can be found
here. Please submit scholarship applications one week before the
program's registration close date. Have questions? Reach out to this
program's coordinator listed here or directly to The Adventurers: adventurers1912scholarship@gmail.com
