Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois announce 2020 Summer Virtual Outdoor Experiences!

It is a tradition of Northern Illinois girls to participate in Girl Scout summer camp. During the camping, they create outdoor memories that last long. They participate in their beloved traditions every year. This year, the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois decided to cancel all 2020 summer camp programs after consulting health experts and local authorities.

The decision is taken by the Girl Scouts to follow the safety protocols in the time of the pandemic. The Girl Scouts said that they were committed to ensuring the health and safety of the girls. The canceled events include Camp Dean in Big Rock, Camp McCormick in Stillman Valley, and Camp Far Horizons in Hanover. The girls and families understand the decision of the council and its importance in the present context.

Many Northern Illinoisans had a question in their minds about whether girls would have any participating event this summer or not. They got their answer through the announcement made by the Girl Scouts today. The Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois announced the 2020 Summer Virtual Outdoor Experiences!

The virtual activities cannot replace the traditional Girl Scouts summer camp experience. But the organization tried to provide them a good experience through a list of virtual events. In the 2020 Summer Virtual Outdoor Experiences program, the girls will make new friends online. They will participate in several camp activities, and new features virtually.
