Last weekend at the Retreat at Balcones Springs, we welcomed several Girl Scout troops from the Austin area to the property! Brownies (and even some Daisies) enjoyed a weekend full of fun outdoor activities at our scenic hill country location.
Scouts and scout leaders arrived Saturday afternoon and went swimming and "Blobbing" in Lake Ted, climbed the Rock Wall, flew down the screamer, played Gaga ball, and spent time hanging out in the Camp Balcones Springs tree house. After a fiesta dinner in the Rio Grande, the Girl Scouts went to our bonfire area and enjoyed roasting S'mores.
The next morning after breakfast, some girls returned to the Rock Wall, while others jumped on our Charlotte's Web trampoline and made friendship bracelets. Our guests enjoyed Balcones Springs' famous "beach burgers" at lunch before returning home from their Brownie excursion.
Having the Girl Scouts with us this weekend got us thinking about camp and how exciting it is that it is just around the corner! We are looking forward to all of the fun summer will bring, and we are thankful to have gotten a taste of that with our Girl Scout visitors last weekend.
