GAM 2005

Get it on the Calendar!

GAM is a multi-level event for all Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors that is held at Camp Casa Mare every other year. GAM 2005, to be held April 23, will be the 20th Anniversary of this Girl Scout tradition! It consists of about 20 games, many of which do not involve water. Some of the games require specific skills, but most are just for fun!
Girls register as a “Crew.” A GAM crew is a group of 5-8 girls who compete in the various events at GAM. A crew may consist of girls from different troops or Juliettes, and different levels of Girl Scouting (Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors together in one crew). Each crew picks a name, makes T-shirt’s and designs a banner or windsock to represent their crew.

After an opening parade of the crews, the crew spends the day competing in the various games. The day can be competitive or as laid-back as the crew wants. However, at the end of the day, awards will be given to the crews winning the most events and for showing the most enthusiasm. Fun and enthusiasm are the cornerstones of the day.
Trainings will be offered in January, February, and March for activities which require specific skills. All pertinent information will be located on the CIN under September. Also, registration information and forms for both the GAM event and trainings are available by contacting Sarah Boyd at sboyd@sjgs.org or Kate Marx at gam2005@sbcglobal.net.
