Programs for Girls Offered by Friends of Timbercrest
Timbercrest Tidbits
As part of our mission to promote Camp Timbercrest, the Friends of Timbercrest are proud to offer Timbercrest Tidbits through Girl Scouts of Western New York. The tidbits programs encourage girls to explore camp while trying new skills, and earn tidbit segment patches to go around their Camp Timbercrest patches. Tidbit segments are included with each program; patches are available for $2 each.
Program fees are low, thanks to generous donations from the many friends of Girl Scout Camp Timbercrest. Thank you, friends!
The Camp Timbercrest patch was designed by Kim Waite Turner, aka Croc, a former camp staff member and active Friend of Timbercrest.
The segment patches are stock items from Advantage Emblem. Programs are offered by Friends of Timbercrest. You will register through Girl Scouts of Western New York.
The Timbercrest patch is not an iron-on. It will have to be sewed. The tidbits are iron-on. Click here for instructions.
