BE PART OF GIRL SCOUT DAY 2025

Girl Scout Day 2025 in Gettysburg and Adams County is sure to give Girl Scouts, leaders and guests of all ages an experience they will never forget.

Visiting Gettysburg is something most children remember for the rest of their lives.  Whether they go with their troop or school group or on a family vacation, being at the scene of one of the most important moments in American history leaves an impression like no other.

An exceptional story is woven together for Girl Scout Day, tailored for each child or adult who takes the opportunity to learn something new, grow and have fun, all at the same time.

Whether discovering the details of the battle from different perspectives, feeling what families endured during that harrowing time in 1863, understanding how World War II and the Civil War are intertwined in Gettysburg, or spending time in the Adams County countryside, on a fruit farm or with miniature horses, these are the kinds of moments waiting for guests at Girl Scout Day.
