An annual fall camping event, Western Skies Encampment will be held at Camp Greenwood on the weekend of September 25-27, 2009 and is for troops entering 5th through 12th grade in the fall of 2009 and that live in the western part of the council.

Western Skies is an exciting weekend in the out-of-doors that promotes camping skills, diverse Girl Scout programming and sharing with other troops. Troops may stay in cabins or tent camping. Proper training is required. The program is planned and presented to the girls by volunteer adults, with Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts helping. Western Skies Encampment is a great way for troops to connect with troops outside of their own area, since it includes most of the west. Many troops have found it to be a wonderful older girl retention tool.
