Girl Scouts Troop 168
BSA Girl Scouts in Girl Scouts Troop 168 and their families have fun and adventures in a girls youth program that builds character and self-esteem while BSA Girl Scouts Troop Scouts have a great time with their friends:
Girl Scouts Outings and Field Trips
“Outings” are a big part of Scouting. BSA Girl Scouts get out and about with many kinds of outdoor fun, such as: field trips, hikes, climbing, white water rafting, nature and conservation activities.
Girl Scouts Camping
BSA Girl Scouts learn to live in the outdoors. Camping takes BSA Girl Scouts on exciting adventures into the natural world.
Girl Scouts Leadership Development
BSA Girl Scouts Troop 168 offers girls the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions where leadership training is offered. Additionally, there is leadership training available through our local BSA council (GLAAC) as well as national youth leadership training programs.
Girl Scouts Community Service
BSA Girl Scouts do valuable community service projects together. It is one way that BSA Girl Scouts fulfill the Scout Oath “to help other people at all times.”
Girl Scouts Life Skills
