The Girls Scouts of Southern Arizona and local public safety departments host Camp Fury each Summer for girls ages 14-18.
TUCSON, Ariz. — It's something very few teens can say they've tried. This week, a group of girls are getting a glimpse into the life of a firefighter.Bagay and a number of other young women are taking part in an annual camp hosted by the Girls Scouts of Southern Arizona. Over a decade ago, Camp Fury was founded by two local female firefighters who wanted to make a difference.
"Our intent was to bring more young girls and women into the fire service. The percentage of women in the fire service was lower than we'd like to see," said Camp Fury Co-Founder and Retired Tucson Assistant Fire Chief, Laura Baker."Courage, confidence and character is really what it's all about. We are teaching all of these young high school girls to have courage to do things that they would not expect themselves to do," said Baker.
