:: Program for
Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts
All programs are listed by month
NOTE: Alpine Training Services, a long-time
program provider for Girl Scouts – Mt. Wilson Vista Council in the area of high adventure, has undergone a reorganization
that has resulted in greatly increased costs of programs to troops and a greatly decreased maximum group size that is smaller
than many of Mt. Wilson Vista Council troops.
As a result of the negative impact these changes have on troop programs,
the council will no longer be offering programs through Alpine Training Services. Troops that may want to book high adventure
activities with Alpine Training Services, such as kayaking, rock climbing, and canyoneering, may contact them directly at
(909) 202-4303 or www.alpinetrainingservices.com. They will also soon be listed in the Green Pages section of the council Web site as a program resource.
