GS-West brings many special activities and outdoor opportunities to its members.

Round Up:  For Cadette & Senior Levels of Girl Scouts. The cost is $15 per person and it is a troop camping event to learn skills at Saturday morning workshops, and then test those skills in challenge events in the afternoon. Examples include fire building, knot tying, first aid, chariot lashing, art, creative writing, and cook-off. "Super Troop" status will be awarded to one Cadette troop and to one Senior troop based on girl and adult participation, challenges and placements. Troops are encouraged to tent camp. 

Council Wide: For Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors in Girl Scouts. It costs $15 per person and has a similar setup to the annual Round Up event. Troops learn skills to apply during the weekend campout.
