It’s time to lead the way at your favorite state parks and help create a better planet for all! How? By heading out to explore your local Virginia state parks during this year’s Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend! On the weekends of September 11-12 and 18-19, you can participate in self-guided tours, family hikes, watersports, stargazing, and more.
Whether you’re joining in person or virtually, your FREE passport activity sheet will guide you toward adventure! So download the activity sheet, unlock a new patch, and remember you have everything it takes to lead the way!
Given the high temperatures, before you head out, remember to be safe by bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat, and using the buddy system during your outdoor activities.
