Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson
July 26, 2024 A weekly newsletter for Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. members.
Week 4 of summer camp at Rock Hill and Camp Addisone Boyce is almost complete! It's hard to believe we have just two camp weeks left! This week, campers have been cooking, using the ropes courses, sharpening their archery skills, and so much more! Photos will be posted periodically on the Rock Hill and CAB Facebook pages so you all can see what campers are getting up to.
Your Efforts at Work: New Archery Location for CAB
As we reported in March, the Girl Scouts Love CAMPaign challenge was a major success, with your efforts and donations exceeding the original $250,000 goal in less than a year!

Now that the campaign has concluded, we're excited to show you the progress at our three active camp properties. Part of this campaign was to improve on what the properties already had to offer. This included re-locating the Camp Addisone Boyce archery range from high up in the woods to a more accessible location. Campers at CAB have been enjoying the new setup this summer and we look forward to more Girl Scouts and leaders utilizing this space in the fall!

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the summer!
