Ice Age National Scenic Trail

More than 12,000 years ago, an immense flow of glacial ice sculpted a landscape of remarkable beauty across Wisconsin. As the glacier retreated, it left behind a variety of unique landscape features now considered among the world’s finest examples of how continental glaciation sculpts our planet. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath that highlights these landscape features as it travels through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas. The Trail is entirely within Wisconsin and is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails. 

Volunteers with the Ice Age Trail Alliance, the non-profit partner organization with a mission to create, support and protect the Trail, are available to help Girl Scouts engage with the Ice Age Trail through day hikes, backpacking trips, or service learning projects. 

Venture out on your own, or set up programming with an Ice Age Trail Alliance volunteer.  Perfect for many outdoor badges, including Trail Adventure, at every level.

Contact Amy Lord, Outreach and Education Manager with the Ice Age Trail Alliance to be put in touch with a local chapter in your area. Email: amy@iceagetrail.org Phone: 608-798-4453 x233.

Wildman Adventure Resort

We offer tons of outdoor experiences that allow members to work as a team, learn trust, conquer fears, and forge bonds that will last a lifetime — all while experiencing the best of nature. Troops will be able to camp in the forest along the Peshtigo River, where they’ll have access to hiking, fishing, and more. If sleeping in the great outdoors is not fit for your troop, we also have large cabins to accommodate troops as well. They’ll enjoy a sand volleyball court, horseshoes, a pavilion for snacks and meals, and a fireplace for roasting marshmallows at the end of the night. Our resort is unique because of its family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes troops and families.

Our Guides Love To Take Care Of Girl Scout Troops
Our guides are some of the best around. They’re so good, that year after year, Girl Scouts return to the Northwoods of Wisconsin in hopes of finding the same guide they had the year before. What makes them so good? They are most interested in teaching Girl Scouts about the beautiful nature surrounding them while engaging them in unforgettable, character-building activities with their troop. They are concerned with the safety and well-being of every Girl Scout they lead, and they form a bond with troops that will last a lifetime.

Wildman Adventure Resort offers:

• Alpine Tower High Ropes Course
• Kayak Lake Tour
• Whitewater Rafting on the Menominee or Peshtigo Rivers
• Standup Paddleboarding
• Menominee River Zip Line Tour
