Imagine working with a group of individuals – each with their own unique skills and passions, but united by a common purpose. Imagine your self at Girl Scouts!

For generations Girl Scouts have enjoyed day camp on the shores of pristine Lucas Lake at Camp Silver Brook.  Once a private resort, the camp located just outside West Bend Wisconsin, hosts a full summer of outdoor fun and memories.  Girls spend their days swimming, boating, cooking over a fire, engaging in STEM activities, playing sports and games, earning badges acknowledging their skill development and more.  With one overnight a week day campers get a taste of camp night life.  On Saturday troops get a chance to enjoy much of the same fun offered at day camp.  With most of your nights free you can explore the quaint community of West Bend. Located a short distance from Milwaukee you have access to multiple summer festivals, shopping, museums, restaurants and more on the weekend.
