MAPLE SUGARING
Be part of the sweetest tradition in Allendale Girl Scouts

Maple Syrup production for Cadettes and Seniors


Each spring a group of Allendale Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts collects maple sap and makes maple syrup.

Each family collects sap from a maple tree in their yard, then the group gathers to boil it into syrup (yum) that we bottle and share.

Participating girls are encouraged to take an active part in collecting and boiling the sap. All Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to taste the syrup during a community event later in the year.


MAPLE SUGARING TIME LINE:

OCTOBER

October is the time to select your maple tree - while it still has leaves!

FEBRUARY

February is when we tap the trees, then collect and boil the sap.

MARCH

In March we gather to combine the reduced sap and create our own unique blend: Allendale Maple Syrup.

Troops and individual families welcome! Leaders, please share this invitation with your girls and their families!
