Scouting Programs

Camp Marshall is very excited to be working the with the local Girl Scout Troops starting in May. We look forward to adding more programs in the future.

A Note from a Leader that attended our May 9th,2009 Program at Camp Marshall: the horse activity this past weekend at Camp Marshal, I wanted to let you know about the experience. "The girls had a fantastic time. The instructor and her helpers were amazing. They took the time to answer any questions the girls had and the use of time was perfect. Some of my girls were apprehensive about being around horses but by the time they were grooming the horses they were put to ease. I would highly recommend this event for anyone".
