Johnstone Girl Scout Center

Nestled on a quiet hillside in San Dimas, Johnstone offers the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space for our friends in the San Gabriel Valley.

Welcome to Johnstone, GSGLA's hillside indoor/outdoor program center located near the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. At the top of the hill is "Upper Johnstone" which includes a house with large main room, lounge with wood burning fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and spacious enclosed patio with BBQ and picnic tables. Venture down the hill to “Lower Johnstone” where you’ll find a peaceful semi-wooded campsite with enchanting eucalyptus groves and an open, shaded space for day and overnight adventures. Enjoy lunch at the picnic area and when night falls, stay for s'mores under the stars by the cozy fire ring.

Whether you're looking for space to meet and complete badge work, or experience the magic of overnight camping close to home, Johnstone is perfect for making new memories with your troop.

This calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well. When you visit Johnston, you are standing on the traditional land of the Tongva Gabrieleño and Fernandeño Tatavium.
