This year,
Girl Scouts of Utah is the host of the Girl Scouts’ 53rd national convention in
the spectacular Salt Lake City, Utah, October 16–19, 2014. If you
love outdoor adventures, if camp is in your blood,
or if you’d just like to get out and experience the
natural beauty of Utah, we invite you to register here
and join Girl Scouts of Utah on October 16 as we take you on an
adventure to discover and tour our remarkable Trefoil
Ranch.
You’ll travel
by coach to this picturesque camp with facilities
that excite beginning riders and skilled equestrians alike. Once
there, you’ll learn all about our A.I.A. award–winning collaborative
partnership with the University of Utah’s College of Architecture, through
which girls engaged in STEM programming and worked
directly with architecture students to build sustainable cabins.
You’ll also tour the cabins, constructed of locally sourced timber made
from beetle-kill pine, and hear about the girls’ experiences with space
planning and building design, as well as what they learned about
sustainability, material fabrication, and construction.
The University of
Utah’s architecture partners will join us on the tour
to share how you can take the lessons learned from Utah and build
your own partnerships with colleges, universities, and businesses in your
area. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about the year-round programming
at Trefoil Ranch and Camp Cloud Rim, and discover how to create your own
cooperative enterprises with elements of learning, skill building, teaching,
inspiration, and environmental stewardship built right in.
All outdoor program
managers, camp directors, property managers, executive
leadership, and outdoor enthusiasts are invited to join us as
we explore how Utah’s best practices can be taken back to
local councils. Get all of the information here!
This is your year to reunite with friends,
deepen and share your knowledge of Girl Scouts, and help invigorate a global
movement of girls, women, and men around the theme "Discover, Connect,
Take Action: Girls Change the World."
