Every year, Girl Scouts explore the natural wonders found across the country during the annual Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend. This year marks the fourth celebration Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend and Girl Scouts of Colonial Coast gathered at Machicomoco State Park in Hayes on Saturday, Sept. 17 to celebrate. Girl Scouts and their families participated in activity stations at the park which included learning about soil identification techniques, learning about and helping to construct a Native American dugout canoe, observing wildlife from the boardwalk, bird-watching, touring the historic house on the property and creating a mural.
