Come have a blast with She and Me, the over night that features swimming, hula hooping, and indoor fun at its best! Girls are strongly encouraged to bring their mom, aunt, grandma, big sister, or favorite female mentor over 18yrs. old to join in this over night adventure.

Camping may not be an option for winter but how about an indoor sleep over? Bring your sleeping bag, pillow, swim suit, towel, water bottle and pj's and let's have an overnight with the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming and your favorite female companion. No campfires but we will have plenty of activities to keep us warm. Grab your floaties and splish-splash at the Rocky Mountain College Pool as it will be open at designated times for swimming. Girls show your She and Me companion your creative side and construct a hula hoop to take home. Genoa from Custom Hula Hoops will have a few pre-made hoops to look at for inspiration.

Wind down with a snack and check out some of Rocky's campus clubs as they will be there with some hands on activities. The gym floor will be your bed for the night so find the perfect spot for you and your She and Me companion. Rise and shine to a cheerful breakfast the next morning. This is a great way to spend quality time with your 'She Companion', make new friends, and spend the evening participating in fun activities. Remember to eat dinner before you come as only a snack will be provided in the evening, but you will receive breakfast the next morning before you are on your way home.

Welcome Everyone!

Hey Girl Scouts and Family! I'm making this blog in hopes to make this easier for everyone to find what's going on with our troop and maybe even save some paper. A quick look around as I'm getting it set up, meeting dates are on a tab up top along with up coming council programs including ice skating.
