This photo from 1937 shows Girl Scout Mariners participating in a swimming race at Camp Cedarledge. Girl Scout Mariners discover and develop their water-sport skills through canoeing, sailing and swimming. From mastering canoeing strokes to navigating a sailboat as a team, Mariner Girl Scouts conquer the open waters through this special interest program. For the past 70 years, Girl Scout Mariners have set sail in ships of six or more, either as an existing troop or as individual Girl Scouts and volunteers, while still maintaining membership in their existing troops. Summer GAM (Gathering All Mariners) remains a popular camp today. Check out the photo on the next page to see current Girl Scouts participating in the 2024 program.
