Girl Scouts Heart of the South is passionate about building strong partnerships and to fulfill our mission of community service and altruism. For nearly a century, Girl Scouts has played a pivotal role in educating America in the protection of our environment and the promotion of civic responsibility in our communities.

This fall, Girl Scouts, Tunica RiverPark and over 50 ecological organizations will host an event that you will not want to miss! On Saturday, October 16th, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., our community will ‘Romp on the River’, a free event for the entire family. The Tunica RiverPark is located in Tunica, MS (beside Fitz Casino and Hotel) and is perfect for family outings or a nostalgic sunset walk. Tunica RiverPark allows you to interact up close with the awe-inspiring beauty of the Mississippi River encompassing nature and horse trails, an interactive museum and aquarium, a 48 foot River Overlook, and leisurely riverboat cruises down the mighty Mississippi River.
Romp on the River is an Eco-Festival featuring live music, authentic arts and crafts, innovative ‘green’ events, delicious foods, Tunica Queen Riverboat cruises, hikes along Eco-trails through the MS wetland forests, and an interactive GPS treasure hunt, called geocaching–all on the banks of the Ms River!
