About 60 women found their inner girl Saturday, as they participated in the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida’s annual Big Girls Day at Camp. Attendees enjoyed a morning of kayaking down the Braden River, testing their skills in archery, climbing a rock wall and zipping down a zipline. They also walked nature trails, relaxed while eating s’mores at the campfire and cooled off in the swimming pool.
