OHIO — Girl Scouts across the Buckeye State are being invited by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the seventh annual Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend.
The weekend runs from Sept. 12 to Sept. 14 and is open to Girl Scouts, their troops, families and friends to explore the outdoors.
Special programs will be held at 12 state parks in partnership between Girl Scouts of the USA and ODNR naturalists.
“There’s nothing better than seeing young people discover the magic of Ohio’s great outdoors,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “From the thrill of paddling a kayak to the wonder of spotting wildlife up close, these moments create memories that last a lifetime and inspire the next generation of nature lovers.”
Events are scattered across the state and include:
- Kayaking at Pymatuning State Park
- Hiking at Maumee Bay State Park
- Touring Marblehead Lighthouse State Park
- Fossil collecting at Hueston Woods State Park. I
Officials said self-guided opportunities are available at Ohio’s 76 state parks for those looking to create their own adventure.
