Girl Scouts of Western Washington would like to invite our Black/African American families, friends, and potential members to the third annual Umoja Family Campout! UMOJA means unity in Swahili and is a principle to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Come spend a day at Camp River Ranch in Carnation, WA, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains! This weekend of family fun at camp is specifically designed as a welcoming space in nature for families and members who identify as Black or African American. This camp is open to Girl Scout members, their families, and potential future Girl Scouts and volunteers.
**Please read the full description before registering.**
*For siblings aged 4 and under, please use the Family Guest option. All other guests who are 5 and over will need to register and pay the registration fee as a youth (girl) or adult participant. For steps to register your family, please open this link in a new tab or call 1 (800) 541-9852.
