Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 30072 from Campolindo High School in Moraga planned an amazing event last May filled not only with songs, but also hikes, knots, necklaces, friendship bracelets, games, sit-upons, skits and s'mores around the campfire at Twin Canyons Girl Scout camp in Lafayette, where 150 Girl Scouts gathered for the 2017 Camporee. The event included girls from kindergarten through 12th grade. Senior Troop 31361 from Moraga and Cadette Troop 31339 from Orinda helped execute the event.

Co-leader of Troop 30072, Lori Sherman, said, "It was heartwarming to see girls of all ages come together - learning and playing. The goal of our event was to inspire and teach younger girls encouraging them to continue through Girl Scouts even when other activities yearn to consume more of their time. We were very proud of our event. I'm humbled by my amazing nine girls who planned the Camporee which is their legacy to our community as they leave and head off to the next chapter of their lives - college!"
