GIRL SCOUTS KICK OFF SUMMER WITH TRIENNIAL CELEBRATION!
FILER, ID – Imagine walking through a sea of tents, the aroma of dinner lingering in the air above outdoor cook stoves, and the giggles of girls ringing like church bells on a fall day. This was the scene at Jubilation, the Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council’s triennial troop camping event that occurred last weekend in Filer, Idaho.
“Jubilation is a three day encampment for girls from ages 6 to 17. We offer programs to build on courage, confidence, and character and really focus on leadership skills for the girls,” said Tami Bergen, Jubilation Director. This volunteer run event included over 900 girls, 300 leaders, and Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council staff members.
Girls took part in a variety of activities including Bubble Blast, a fun activity on the art of creating bubbles; Wet and Wild, a science learning project where girls dissected owl pellets and learned about reptiles and owls; and Amazing Journeys, an obstacle course encouraging the development of teambuilding activities. Older Girl Scouts had the opportunity to visit College of Southern Idaho’s ropes course and took part in the Build a Boat activity, where they worked as a team to build boats from cardboard and duct tape, assisting teammates across a pool.
The three day event was a success. “Even though it rained you [could] look around and see girls having a fabulous time,” said Tami Bergen.
