Girl Scouts Love State Parks 2022

Let’s celebrate our shared love of the outdoors!

Every year, Girl Scouts explore the natural wonders found across our country during the Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend. Girl Scouts nationwide, along with their troops, friends, and families, celebrate our shared love of the outdoors. Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend is on September 10 and 11 this year. Grab your backpack and head out to your local state parks for self-guided tours, family hikes, watersports, stargazing, special events, and more!

Here’s how you can participate:

1. Download the Girl Scouts Love State Parks Passport on our website. 2. Head out to a state park on your own or join in on a GSMH adventure. 3. Purchase your patch! We have local opportunities with Missouri state parks. Check them out here or on our website!
