South Miami Little House (SMLH) may be rented for a 24 hour period (or
consecutive 24 hour periods) during weekends and Miami-Dade and Monroe
County School holidays and recesses. The purpose of SMLH is to
provide safe, accessible outdoor space for troops and groups
associated with Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida, with an emphasis on
access to natural wooded outdoor space as well as overnight camping in
the building and/or tents. Rentals of SMLH are available for meetings
in the building and overnight camping in the building and tents
(weekends and Miami-Dade and Monroe County school holidays).
Overnight rentals begin at 6:00 p.m. for GSTF troops and groups, and
end at 9:00 a.m. the following morning for a cost of $75.00. The
tenting area is included in the overnight rental cost. The $5.00 fee
paid here is to hold your reservation only, unless the rental is for
a 3 hour troop or community meeting. The cost for a 3 hour troop or
community meeting is $5, a reservation here is considerd payment in
full. You will receive confirmation of acceptance of your
reservation within 3 business days, which will include the dates for
ACH transfers from your Community or Troop bank account. Fifty
percent (50%) of the total rental fee is payable as soon as the
reservation is made, the remaining 50% will be deducted three (3)
weeks prior to your reservation date. If the rental is three weeks
or less prior to the reservation date, 100% of the rental will be
deducted immediately. Communities may reserve SMLH 6 months in
advance. Troops may reserve SMLH 3 months in advance. If a
reservation is made beyond these dates, the reservation will
automatically be cancelled. Each Troop or Community may reserve
SMLH one time in a rolling 7 day period (one reservation per week).
A reservation may be an entire weekend, but it cannot be two
unconnected days. In order to camp overnight for two consecutive
nights, reserve all the day meeting times as well as overnight. If
more than one reservation is made in a 7 day period, ALL reservations
for that Troop or Commuity will be cancelled and the Troop or
Community will not have access for 30 days to make a reservation.
Early set-up is not available. If the Troop or Community reserves
overnight camping event on a Saturday, but wish to set up on Friday,
the fee is an additional $120. Girl Scouts always leave a place
better than they found it. A cleaning checklist will be provided,
the camp ranger will review the state in which the cabins, bathhouse,
lodge and grounds have been left. If the checklist is not complete,
the ranger will attempt to design a remedy with the adults in charge
of the event. If the checklist is still incomplete, fines will be
communicated in writing including a copy of the cleaning checklist and
withdrawn via ACH Transfer from the Community or Troop bank account
within 5 business days. A key will be available 3 days prior to the
reservation. This key must be returned to the camp ranger during the
checklist/check-out process. A key replacement fee of $50 will be
charged to the Community or Troop in the case the key is not
returned. For troops meeting at SMLH on a regular basis, a yearly
key may be arranged upon request and key must be return by due date to
avoid a key replacement fee of $50. Complete a Trip and Travel
form for reservations which are not regular troop or community
meetings. If you do not yet have an ACH Transfer Authorization on
file, please provide it immediately so that your reservation can be
completed. Payments are accepted via ACH transfer from a GSTF Troop
or Community bank account only.
