Our Properties
Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona’s campuses and camps occupy the ancestral lands of many indigenous communities. Among them are the people and ancestors of Tohono O'odham, Pascua Yaqui, Ak Chin, Apache, Cocopah, and the Quechan Tribe.
Though displaced, these people are the past, present, and future caretakers of this land. To say this is to acknowledge a debt to those who were here before us and to recognize our role as colonizers and our responsibility to respect and honor the intimate relationship indigenous peoples have with this land. This acknowledgment is a small step toward reconciliation and improved relations with the tribal communities in our region.
It’s done to remind us of the history that has shaped our present and will continue to shape our future. It also reminds us to be intentional in our relationship with the land and with the people indigenous to this region. Our Council’s work needs to be informed by that history in order to best serve our communities.
For decades, Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona has maintained several locations and program spaces across Southern Arizona. Among them, we are proud to own two properties, dedicated to camping.
Resource Centers
Camps & Program Facilities
Built especially for Girl Scouts, Angel Charity Place for Girls is located in the heart of Tucson. This building is an 11,000-square-foot program center and is home to a STEM Room, Art Room, Kitchen, Biz Lounge, and a Health & Wellness space.
Designed for the youngest Daisy to the most experienced Ambassador, Angel's Place provides each Girl Scout the space to find their voice and confidence. This property is open and available for troops to reserve.
The Hacienda Program Center offers the comfort of “close to town” facilities while providing the ambiance of a remote desert oasis. The 16-acre desert landscape is suited for a variety of large and small group functions such as troop meetings, celebrations, picnics, conferences, and get-togethers.
A reservation at the Hacienda also provides access to a nature trail, archery course, fire circle, junior Olympic-sized pool, and sand volleyball, based upon availability.
Located in the Santa Catalina Mountains on 16.5 acres of rolling ridgetop at an elevation of almost 8,000 feet, Camp Whispering Pines (CWP) offers an unforgettable mountain camping experience for all ages and abilities.
An array of outdoor and indoor programming spaces are available on-site, including an archery range, a performance center, a large main lodge, and plenty of access to scenic hiking trails. Bungalows, cabins, and a large-group troop house are available for campouts.
