It is the Board’s role to ensure that GSLPG offers the Premier Scouting 
Experience, not only for today’s scouts but for generations to come- and make the most prudent decisions for the future of the council. Girls today tell us they would like more modern facilities, and we can only imagine that girls 20 years from now will want and expect state of the art camping opportunities as well. As a result, the Board vote and decision is to focus its efforts on developing two camps, one camp in the south and one camp in the north. This decision will allow the resources at hand to be utilized in the most efficient way, enabling us to invest in our future and provide superior outdoor fun and educational leadership opportunities to reach even more girls and meet their needs not only today but in years to come. Camp Bon Temps in Breaux Bridge, La and Camp Wawbansee in Simsboro, La will remain open for all girl scouts in GSLPG so that the Girl Scout journey can continue in building friendships, 
discovering their resources and gaining important outdoor education. Girls will be able to enjoy building fires, singing songs, camping in cabins or tents, gazing at the stars, canoeing on the lake, hiking through the woods and much more. Camp Wawbansee is within 50 miles of both Indian Creek and Pine Wood and easily accessible with acreage that can be improved upon.
