The Rainy Day Corner

Project Details: After recognizing that the corner space in Tuck Hall at Camp Tuckaho could use an update, the Girl Scouts from Troop 884 decided to create a Rainy Day Corner area. The Cadettes cleaned out, painted and redecorated the space to make it a more inviting and comfortable environment. In addition to painting the walls, they also painted signs to add as decoration. After the completing the renovations, the Cadettes restocked the space with new games and books donated by community members. To celebrate the new Rainy Day Corner, the Girl Scouts hosted an open house so that campers knew that the resources were available. Attendees also played team building games to enjoy the new space and build relationships with each other.

Silver Award Team: Troop 884

Issue: A space in the corner of Tuck Hall at Camp Tuckaho needed to be updated. Root Cause: The camp staff did not have time to update, and a lot of people didn’t know it was there so there was very little interest in the corner. Target Audience: The Rainy Day Corner benefits campers and counselors at Camp Tuckaho. Sustainability: The project will be available for campers year-round. The Cadettes placed a list of rules for using the corner so that people treat it with respect and it can remain in use for a long time.
