During our service unit’s City Slickers summer camp, we drove the girls to a couple of field trips. I loved hearing them repeat their inside jokes over and over again, because in my opinion, this is evidence that they are developing friendships and camaraderie with their fellow scouts.

Each year, our service unit (639) puts on a summer camp called City Slickers. It lasts a week for Cadettes, Seniors, & Ambassadors and a half-week for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors. Our theme this year is “It’s a Girl Thing!” I’m one of the Juniors’ leaders. The Brownies and Daisies are day-only, but the Juniors spend each night. I’m really looking forward to it, and I’ve been planning events for it for the past few months. After City Slickers is over, it’s troop planning time! W00t!
