Join the celebration with Girl Scouts across Tennessee!

Girl Scouts Heart of the South, Girls Scouts of Southern Appalachians, and Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee are invited to Camp Sycamore Hills to celebrate the traditions of Girl Scouts. We will have a day event for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies and an overnight event for Girl Scout Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. There will be activities for everyone and a whole lot of fun!

Each troop will choose five activities, receive dinner on Saturday, and take home a patch.

  When attending Statewide Camporee, you will select whether you would like to stay in cabins, screened cabins, or pitched tents.

• What is the deadline to pay for Statewide Camporee?

  Like all programs, payment must be made 10 days after you are placed into the program. If you do not pay by this time, you risk losing your registration to someone on the waitlist.

  Please note that payments must include payment for the camporee itself as well any requested patches, t-shirts, and premium activities.

• What if there is inclement weather?

  Statewide Camporee will run rain or shine. A member of the Statewide Camporee Leadership team will contact you directly if it will be postponed, rescheduled, or cancelled due to inclement weather. Please use your judgement when traveling with girls.

  In the event of inclement weather during Statewide Camporee, staff will direct you in emergency procedures, which are also posted in each living and activity space.

• What if I need to cancel? Will I get a refund?

  Cancellations for Statewide Camporee must be received via CouncilAlignMENT or in writing to Lauren Reichstein 3 weeks prior in order to be entitled to a refund. Full payment is required unless written cancellation is received 3 weeks prior to an event. Unpaid registrations DO NOT count as notice of cancellation and full payment is expected. If Statewide Camporee is cancelled for any reason, a refund will be issued based on the program expenses. Refunds for unexpected sickness or family emergencies will be considered upon request.

• Are we guaranteed the activities we requested when we registered?

  Due to high attendance, high demand, and Safety Activity Checkpoints, you may not get to do all 5 activities that you requested when registering. However, you will have 5 activities that are appropriate for your troop’s age level and your troop is sure to have an amazing time!

• What will we eat? Will all meals be provided?

  Included in any registration is dinner on Saturday night. This will be a picnic meal consisting of a hotdog, hamburger, or chicken sandwich; chips; cookies; and fruit. All other meals will need to be provided by participants. You may cook using outdoor skills if you have taken the required training from your council, or simply pack a cooler with materials for no-cook meals. We are working with local vendors to have options for purchase on property for dinner on Friday evening and lunch on Saturday.

  If anyone in your troop has any dietary needs, please let Lauren Reichstein or Christina Bradley know no later than 3 weeks prior to Statewide Camporee (September 20, 2019). If we do not receive this information by this time, we cannot guarantee having meal options to meet your needs.

  Please note that parking at Camp Sycamore Hills is limited. We ask that participants carpool to Statewide Camporee.
