Girl Scout program is year-round. Traditional troops and groups meet September through June; however, some opt for year-round meetings. Summer Programs & Resident Camps occur June through August for both Girl Scout members and non-members. Special program events for each age level are offered throughout the months of September through June by Service Units and the Council’s Program Operating Unit. Girl Scout Council of Napa-Solano has an active program for girls and adults in contemporary issues, travel, and the outdoors. Girl Scouting explores a girl’s worlds of interest in the out-of-doors, people, today & tomorrow, the arts, and her well-being.
