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
