Camps are
dependent upon
current COVID conditions and therefore subject to
change, including but not limited to a shift to virtual instead of
in-person, rescheduling, or cancellation. COVID-19 Protocols:
Negative test is required regardless of vaccination status. Test
can be an at-home rapid test. Proof of negative test will be
checked upon arrival at camp. Wearing of masks while at camp is
optional and up to each participant's personal choice.
Girl Scout camp is a special place where every girl can practice
independence, make friends, learn new skills, problem solve, and have
fun in an all-girl environment! Our life-changing camp experiences are
open to ALL girls entering 1st–12th grades.
Attend as an individual: She doesn't need to attend camp
with her troop. Many girls visit camp on their own and make new friends.
Grab a buddy, be a pair: Girls can bring a buddy from
their troop or a friend who is not yet a Girl Scout. Buddies are
placed together according to program session, age, and Girl Scout level.
Not yet registered as a Girl Scout? Not a problem! Sign
up today and join us at camp to see what Girl Scouting is
all about.

Due to California legislation, all volunteers attending
weekends camps must complete the online child abuse identification and
reporting training and a fingerprint-based background check. Please
email customercare@girlscoutsoc.org
if you have not already completed this process
California Assembly Bill No. 506 requires 1) any administrator,
employee, or regular volunteer (those who volunteer more than 16 hours
in a month or 32 hours in a year) of a California youth service
organization to complete training in identifying and reporting child
abuse and neglect, and 2) require California youth-serving
organizations to include fingerprinting as part of its background
screening.
If you are coming to weekend camp as a parent/guardian and girl pair
and are not supervising girls who are not related to you, you may not
meet the requirement for fingerprinting and Mandated Reporter
training.

About Camp
Scherman: Located in the San Jacinto Mountains, Camp Scherman has
been a special place for Orange County’s Girl Scouts for over 50 years.
Under the soaring Jeffrey Pines (that smell like butterscotch!),
girls take on new challenges, learn to collaborate with others, become
self-reliant, and develop leadership skills. Whether she’s hiking the
Pacific Crest Trail, playing games in the pool with friends, kayaking
across the lake, or participating in camp’s many timeless traditions,
there are endless possibilities for her to connect with nature and
discover the greatness within herself.
**Program Note: Campers that are enrolled to participate in the
horse program will be the only campers that will ride horses. All
campers will have an opportunity to have some sort of horse
programming that does not include riding during their session at camp.
