For a week in July Lisa volunteered for both YaYa and LuLu at the Girl Scout's Camp Silverbrook. Four days out of five it was day camp, with a single nights sleepover (and then only for YaYa and the older Brownies.). I had nothing to do with this event and simply enjoyed the relative quiet while Lisa ran the show.
Everyone at the camp went strictly by nicknames. Lisa became Ruby, YaYa was 'Squirt', and LuLu 'Toto'.
They did oragami and made ragdolls, swam and did tye-die, and generally just had a blast.
I can tell you this much: when they came home I was subjected to the sight of Lisa and the girls singing ridiculous songs about bananas and dancing around the front porch. :) I have a feeling they'll be going back next year.

What a great time :) That's the kind of stuff motherhood is made of!
Some of my fond memories are of taking Cybil to camp. She was in Camp Fire, not Girl Scouts, but the programs are very similar. Of course, we had our daycamp site about 100 yards from the restrooms, with a mulberry tree in the middle. Amazing how sticky a kid can get on the way back from the restroom.
