Set along the roadside, with green bushes, a mountain and blue sky are set behind a brown wooden sign that reads "Girl Scouts love State Parks is back!". A smaller sign in front of the wooden sign reads 'Girl Scouts love State Parks' with a river and mountain scenery.

Girl Scouts Love State Parks

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Join Parks Interpretive Rangers in scavenger hunts, educational games, Junior Ranger programming and the opportunity for kids to get their Girl Scouts Love State Parks Passport stamped.

Every year, Washington State Parks participates in the national Girl Scouts Love State Parks program. Girl Scouts Love State Parks is a partnership between Girl Scouts USA and the National Association of State Parks Directors. State parks in all 50 states participate. 

Several of our state parks offer activities during Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend. Interpretive rangers will host a scavenger hunt, educational games, Junior Ranger programming and the opportunity for kids to get their Girl Scouts Love State Parks Passport stamped. Passports are available to Scouts and to the general public.

Volunteer Event - Centennial Trail - Forest Health (Thinning)

Happy Earth Day!

Join us to improve young stands of Ponderosa Pine and Doug Fir through reducing overcrowded stands. Giving trees proper spacing allows them to grow with health and vigor instead of competing with one another for space, light, and water. We will use handsaws and loppers to remove trees and lay them alongside the trail to prepare for the woodchipper to make a pass through at a later date.

We will meet at Wilbur Trailhead and walk or shuttle to the thinning site (about 1/4-1/2 mile from the trailhead).
