Counselors have been training at Camp NOARK near Huntsville in preparing for campers who will begin arriving this weekend.

Girl Scouts are returning to Camp NOARK this weekend. The camp near Huntsville was closed in 2020 due to the pandemic and this summer’s programming almost didn’t happen because of a staff shortage. There are 111 councils across the country and many have struggled to recruit enough counselors for their camps.
