International Girl Scout gatherings named Senior Roundups were held every three years from 1956 until 1965.<ref name="roundupstamps">{{Cite web |last=Larson |first=Keith |year=2000 |title=Girl Scout Senior Roundups |url=http://www.sossi.org/girls/roundup.htm |access-date=2006-09-08 |publisher=Scouts on Stamps Society International}}</ref> The third one was held at [[Button Bay|Button Bay, Vermont]] from July 27 to August 3, 1962, with 9,000 girls in attendance.

On May 16, 2000, Gordon Lew, the scouting program director announced that the Long Trail Indian Camp was cancelled for the entire 2000 season due to concerns raised by Charles Yow, an attorney representing the [[American Indian Movement]] in [[New England]]. Yow expressed concerns about many activities at the camp, though his primary concern was the use of a [[sweat lodge]] by children - not only because of the spiritual significance of the lodge, there were concerns of the potential dangers the children would be exposed to from the intense heat. While Jerry Lupien, the executive director of the [[Green Mountain Council]], claimed that Native Americans assisted in authenticating the camp's activities, Hal Grosser, the camp's program founder, would not name a single Native person that had consulted with the camp that summer. Additionally, Chief April St. Francis of the [[Missiquoi|Vermont Abenaki]] stated that her band had never been contacted by camp employees for consultation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hemmingway |first=Greg |date=18 June 2000 |title=American Indian group puts halt to offensive Scout camp |agency=Burlington Free Press |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/200439875/# |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref>
