Not a Girl Scout, but want to go to camp? You still can!
All girls are welcome at Girl Scout camp. If you’re not already a member, there’s a small membership fee that makes you an official Girl Scout for the membership year—just for camp, or more if you’d like! There’s no need to join a troop unless you want to. You can become a Girl Scout just to go to camp, take part in special events, travel, join interest-based clubs, or even earn badges on your own. It’s all about what works for you!
