How We Serve
From earning badges to going on awesome trips and selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors and doing community service projects, girls lead their own adventures and team up with other girls in an all-girl environment. Together, they’ll take action to change the world, putting them on a path to a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
TRADITIONAL TROOPS: 6,000 Girl
Scouts and 3,545 adult volunteers
The majority of Girl Scouts in western Oklahoma will
participate in a traditional troop, with dedicated adult volunteers
serving as Troop Leaders. These girls have an incredibly rich
experience: they earn badges, go outdoors, earn our highest awards and
participate in community service and take action projects.
COMMUNITY PRGRAMS: 2,500 Girl
Scouts in 100 community sites
About 25% of Girl Scouts participate through Community
Programs, or staff-led troop opportunities for girls who may not
otherwise participate in Girl Scouts. We focus on underserved, high
poverty socioeconomic areas where girls can benefit the most from the
skills and programs Girl scouts provides. Community Programs are
in-school and after school activities, troops in public housing
communities and troops in juvenile detention centers.
OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES: Camp
E-Ko-Wah, March - July, nearly 750 campers and volunteers
Meaning “friendship” in Osage, Camp E-Ko-Wah is the perfect
place for girls to connect with the outdoors, face their fears, try
something new and make friends that last a lifetime. Located in
Marlow, Oklahoma, adjacent to Lake Fuqua, Camp E-Ko-Wah teaches girls
all about riding and taking care of horses, water sports safety,
hiking and camp fires, high ropes courses and zip lining.
COMING SOON! CAMP TRIVERA:
year-round, 5,000 Girl Scout campers and 13,000 total visitors in
the first year
Camp Trivera is a state-of-the-art modern camp experience with
a STEM education focus. Girls will learn camping basics in the comfort
of the city. This urban camp, located east of the Oklahoma City Zoo
& Botanical Gardens, is the perfect location for progression-based
learning and will allow for robust community partnership
opportunities. It will be available to Girl Scouts and the community,
equally.
