A quick note

Here are two more councils that are really doing a great job on promoting their camps.

The first is the Girl Scouts of Western PA council. They have a web-zine aimed towards the girls called "S'More" that is a 100-page publication detailing the camp and other programs in the council. It is pretty revolutionary, because as far as I know, our council mostly gears their publications towards the troop leaders and other adult volunteers. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary. Here is the link to the GSWPA Camp page, click on the S'More link to view the magazine: http://www.gswpa.org/camps/.

The next website is one that is actually based entirely on Keyauwee Program Center, a camp in the Tarheel Triad Council of NC. Keyauwee is a camp available to camps during the year and is used as a resident camp during the summer, much like many other GS camps in the country. Keyauwee's program guide is outstanding, and while the website itself isn't very exciting, it certainly makes up for that in content. There is even a 7-minute long video on there promoting the resident camp and the opportunites it provides for the girls. I encourage you to check it out: http://www.keyauwee.com/

Just more evidence to further prove that GSNEO should really step up their website...there is talk with in the FOCH (Friends of Crowell Hilaka) group that perhaps using our website much like Keyauwee has used their, linking directly from GSNEO's website. Of course, we have to make sure there actually will be a camp to promote in the first place =/

Thanks to all for your continued support in FOCH and our efforts!
