Cardboard Camp Out- On any given night, there are over 2,000 people experiencing homelessness in Mecklenburg County. Cardboard Camp-out will help girls understand the causes of homelessness and the experiences someone facing homelessness may face. Activities will include hearing from individuals who have experienced homelessness, group discussions, and participating in a service project to help our neighbors. Girls who participate in this program will be challenged to Take Action in their own community to end homelessness. Stay overnight or work one of our shifts!
Volunteers will act as mentors for the day and engage the girls in meaningful conversations about empathy, the importance of giving back to their community, & how to find a cause that they are passionate about.

Mission Statement
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Description
When people think about Girl Scouts, they think crafts, cookies, and camp but a lot has changed in 103 years. Here at the Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council our girls get their hands dirty with bugs and bones, put their minds to work on science and engineering projects, challenge their body and minds with challenge courses and 5k’s, help breast cancer patients survive their toughest moments, and build lasting relationships with fellow Girl Scouts. We serve extraordinary girls in Anson, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Rowan, Stanly, Union and York counties and we are always in need of extraordinary adults to help our girls reach their full potential. Are you up for it?
