GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM PLANNING INFORMATION

When planning to attend a Girl Scout workshop at Wesselman Woods, please keep the following things in mind:

Our program schedule fills quickly—sometimes several months in advance—register as early as possible!
All Girl Scout programs require full payment in advance.
A ratio of one adult for every six girls is required.
All workshops are two hours in length, with the exception of Evening workshops which begin at 6:00 pm and end at 10:00 pm.
Programs may be scheduled before and after yours. Your prompt arrival ensures that your program is not compromised. Please advise girls to arrive EARLY.
Junior workshops are designed to complete all requirements needed to earn the badge.
Badges earned after completion of our workshops will be provided by Wesselman Woods. For troops who would like a patch to remember their visit, a Wesselman Woods patch is available for purchase through the gift shop for $1.50 each. Anytime your troop makes a return trip to Wesselman Woods, smaller nature patches may be purchased for $.50 each, which are designed to fit around the Wesselman patch.
