Wild Rose Program Center
St. Charles, IL
Your home away from home in the country. Drive from the urban area, down the driveway to an area that feels "country."
Property Information
Acres of woods, trails, open fields used for troop camping, council sponsored events, and summer programs offer numerous opportunities for girls and adults. For troop camping, groups plan their own activities while enjoying the natural surroundings. Council sponsored events are planned programs for individuals or troops to interact with other Girl Scouts. Summer programs provide individual Girl Scouts an opportunity to attend Wild Rose Program Center for one week "away from home."
