Girl Scout Program for Homeschoolers

If you’re a home­school­er in Geor­gia, the NW Geor­gia Girl Scout coun­cil has a pret­ty neat new pro­gram this year for your daugh­ters. They can go to Camp Tim­ber Ridge one day a month to par­tic­i­pate in one of two pro­grams, Adven­ture Edu­ca­tion or Envi­ron­men­tal Sci­ence. They’ll meet on the first Wednes­day of each month, Octo­ber through May. The cost is $70 per girl, which works out to $10 per ses­sion. Addi­tion­al kids in fam­i­lies are con­sid­ered “taga­longs” and can par­tic­i­pate, from what I’ve been told. Girls can par­tic­i­pate as a troop (no min­i­mum num­ber of girls required) or as individuals.

There’s an ori­en­ta­tion meet­ing on Sep­tem­ber 23. Con­tact Lynn Krogh at Tim­ber Ridge: lkrogh@girlscoutsnwga.org.
