DOTTED HALF-NOTES
The Dotted Half Notes are a choir made
up of Girl Scouts of all ages. This highly successful girls’ chorus is
dedicated to brightening the world with the beauty of the human voice.
What began as a Gold Award project, has since turned into a very
successful singing group. The group has earned many accolades and
awards at various singing competitions throughout the tri-state area.
The group practices once a month on Sunday afternoons from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. at Rock Hill Camp in Mahopac. They perform at a number of holiday celebrations, GSHH events, and nursing homes throughout the year.

HUDSON HURRICANES
The Hudson Hurricanes (formerly known
as the Kamikaze Kanoers) are a competitive Girl Scout canoe racing
team. For over 38 years they have raced in the Governor Clinton Canoe
Regatta held on Memorial Day weekend in Bainbridge, NY. Girls on the
team will learn canoeing skills and create friendships that last a
lifetime. Whether you love to canoe, or have never touched a paddle,
we would love to teach you to canoe and to race.
Practices are held at Camp Addisone Boyce in Tomkins Cove, NY
(Rockland County) and are generally held Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays from 4:00pm - 6:30pm from late March through race weekend. An
informational meeting will be held prior to the first practice. To
race, girls must be between 11 and 18 years old on race day. Prior GS
membership is not required, but all members will become members of
Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson.
For information and /or registration please contact Patty Zollinger at plzollinger@gmail.com or 845-639-5043 or Julia Brehl at brehljulia@gmail.com. You can also visit the team Facebook page for updates.

CATSKILL
MOUNTAIN CANOERS
Catskill Mountain Canoers is a Girl Scout canoe racing team. We practice 3 times a week for the 6 weeks before Memorial Day for the Governor Clinton Canoe Regatta that takes place in Bainbridge, NY over Memorial Day weekend. There are six different Girl Scout Canoe races, depending on the ages of the paddlers.
- For the older girls there is a 15 mile endurance race, a 6 person relay race, and a 4 mile sprint race.
- For the younger girls (11 – 15), there is a 10 mile intermediate race, a 4 person canoe relay race and a 4 mile sprint.
The team is open to Girl Scouts aged 11 – 18. If there is interest
please contact Nancy Forsythe at nforsythe@hvc.rr.com
The team has an apple pie sale during November each year, and this
helps defray a lot of the costs involved. Prior GS membership not
required, but all members are expected to become members of Girl
Scouts Heart of the Hudson.
