hree vehicles packed to the roof, filled with eager girls and way too much luggage for a overnight trip.Heading towards Auburn the girls set out for a weekend adventure with their Girl Scout leaders Jody Scrivener, Linda G. and parent helper Shelly King.Winter Camping is not something most New Yorkers want to do particularly with the winter we've had this year.Temperatures in the single digits and wind blowing the snow around wasn't going to stop Jr. Troop 9008 from enjoying this weekend.As they arrived at their destination, Camp Yaiewano, a NYPenn Pathways owned campground for Girl Scouts,the girls eagerly looked for Catherine Allen Lodge.Once found, they scrambled inside to see their accommodations for their long awaited weekend getaway. During the afternoon hours the girls enjoyed playing "blind-fold hide and seek", hiking, and making subs for dinner.That eve was spa themed as they made a facial mask out of yogurt, parsley, and cucumbers that they exploited for facials.As they took time to sleep they placed cucumber slices on their eyes and giggled about how ridiculous they felt.The relaxation period didn't live long have the girls planned to speak the night away.After playing "spin the culture" the leaders settled in for a well needed slumber but the girls continued on.In the morning, after pancakes and cereal, the girls bundled up and explored the campgrounds.They went sledding and had a snow ball fight.It was a camping trip that won't be forgotten any time soon.Troop leaders Jody and Linda agreed that it was the best camping trip ever. Girls from Jr. troop 9008 are now planning their June camping trip to Comstock where they will take yet more fun and rest up even later!Lyons Girl Scouts are currently planning their 1st S.S.S.S convention.Swaps, Skits, S'mores and Swaps.Troop 9008 is mad about this case where the Lyons Service Unit has invited Girl Scout troops from around Wayne and surrounding counties.For more info on Girl Scouting you can contact NYPenn in Phelps, NY.
