The Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois is pleased to announce dates for free Fireside Chats - programs designed to provide girls and their families with information about outdoor opportunities.
Fireside Chats will explore three different types of camp opportunities offered through the Girl Scouts.
"Camps are a supportive, safe environment where girls can try new things, expand their horizons and make new friends," said Stacy Conforti, Director of Outdoor Programs.
Through camp activities like horseback riding, swimming and archery, girls learn about teamwork, leadership, and self-confidence - skills they`ll use for a lifetime.
All girls and their families are invited to attend a Fireside Chat to learn more.
"There are no NON-Girl Scouts, just girls who haven`t become Girl Scouts yet," said Conforti.
The dates for Fireside Chats are as follows:
Feb. 21 from 10 - 11 a.m.: Rock Island, IL - Program Center
Feb. 26 from 6 - 7 a.m.: Waterloo, IA - Hartman Reserve Lodge
Feb. 28 from 10-11 a.m.: Danville, IA - Camp L-Kee-Ta
