“Roundup good fellowship, service and cheer…”
If the words to this song hold special recognition for you and cause you to start humming, it might be because you are one of the more than 40,000 Girl Scout alumnae that attended a Senior Roundup in ‘56, ‘59, ‘62 or ‘65. And as a special Roundup alum, you are invited to the 2020 Roundup reunion to be held from September 13-17, 2020, at the Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes, Vermont, on beautiful Lake Champlain. The Roundup Reunion will open on Sunday afternoon with gathering activities and close Thursday morning following breakfast and a special closing. We look forward to welcoming you to autumn in Vermont!
•Fees: All reunion fees include meals as indicated, activities at the resort, and lodging for single and double occupancy. There are a few single rooms at the resort, and if you prefer a single room, you will be able to request that when you register. Spouses and traveling companions are always welcome and need to register as well. There are no one-person cottages, so you will always be sharing a cottage with other reunion participants.
•Housing and Roommates: As much as possible, Basin Harbor will work to assign cottages and shared rooms to accommodate your requests for shared space. Each of the 74 private cottages at this lakeside resort has a personality of its own. No two cottages are alike, and they accommodate up to eight people. Several cottages are accessible for walkers and wheelchairs. Some cottages are small, so if you’ve requested housing for an entire patrol, you may end up in neighboring cabins. Of course, Roundup Reunion is also a great opportunity to rekindle a favorite Girl Scout tradition and “Make New Friends”.
•Meals: We will enjoy Basin Harbor’s wonderful cuisine for our meals in the main dining room overlooking Lake Champlain. All special meal needs can be accommodated by the Chef.
•Activities: We are working on finalizing the reunion schedule which will include speakers, events to celebrate each Roundup, and all kinds of activities. The full reunion schedule will be sent to you in the spring. While at the Basin Harbor Club, we will include opportunities to walk, play golf, swim, and take a shipwreck cruise to see Lake Champlain’s hidden treasures. We also have plans to go to the ’62 Roundup site at Button Bay State Park where we can view the historical marker commemorating the 1962 Senior Roundup. On one of our days together, optional trips will be planned to Vermont attractions for minimal additional fees. An 18-hole championship course makes Basin Harbor a delight for any golfer to play (fee additional). Basin Harbor is endlessly relaxing, and you can always choose to spend time in your favorite Adirondack chair to soak up the view. There are beautiful landscapes and gardens with magnificent views of the Adirondacks across Lake Champlain. Get ready for singing, singing and more singing! In buses, at meals, and around evening campfires - we know the reunion would not be complete without singing and there will be lots of music to fill our days together!
•Camping: If you are camping or staying in your RV off site, you will want to make arrangements as soon as possible. You can make reservations at Button Bay State Park, site of the ’62 Round up by contacting the Reservation Call Center at 1-888-409-7579 (Mon–Fri, 9am–4pm EST) RVs can also be docked at Basin Harbor Club (no electric hook-ups or dumping stations available) and your fees will include all meals.
•Reunion Fee: All fees include meals and activities (other than the tours off-site which will have an additional fee). If you choose to stay off-site, your registration fee will include lunch and dinner on the full days, as well as club activities on site. Reunion fees may be spread over three payments, with the first payment due upon registration. A limited number of scholarships are also available. Registration opens on December 1st, so watch your email for details in November.
