Riding a horse is one of the most exciting things you can do. But ask any good horseback rider her secret to success and she’ll say that understanding a horse is as important as learning how to ride one. Get clued in to horses, and get ready to ride!

As they explore their own talents and learn about women who have made the world better, Juniors following the Agent of Change Journey also discover the benefits of teamwork—whether it’s talking about energy use, helping a local food bank, or using their unique talents in other ways. Juniors will learn the Power of One, Power of a Team, and Power of Community and will leave with action plans for a take action project.
The Junior Core Camp is a one-night camping event for troops (grades 4-5). Troops will participate in activities like archery, songs and arts & crafts.
