Camp Northwoods alums including campers, Counselors in Training (CIT), and staff meet to plan service work and opportunities to promote programming at Camp Northwoods and to keep camp alums connected. They organize a reunion every five years; the most recent being in 2015. In addition to monthly meetings, the group also has a blog, Yahoo group, and Facebook group.
Reconnect as an Alum
More than 59 million women in America today enjoyed Girl Scouts during their childhood—and that number keeps on growing as Girl Scouts continues to inspire, challenge, and help empower girls everywhere. By reconnecting with Girl Scouts, you’ll be part of a sisterhood and network of millions who are passionate about the Girl Scout mission, just like you.
Join our Alumnae Association or a special interest group to reconnect with our local network of Girl Scout alums.
