Additional Information:
Leader Orientation:
Orientations are recommended for first-time leaders in order to provide them with detailed information about Camp-In and to answer any questions they may have. Reservations are not required. Leaders can simply come to the Group Entrance (rear lobby on Key Highway) of the Maryland Science Center on the date of their choice. A security guard or ticket agent will direct them to the appropriate location.
Cadette/Senior Camp-In
If you are interested in Camp-In for Girl Scout Cadettes held in April and May, please send your name and a postal mailing address to the email address listed below under the Questions heading. Hard copy information will be sent to you as soon as it's ready (by mid-December). New procedures and badges require us to limit this program to Cadettes only. That said, Girl Scout Seniors are welcome to participate and will earn the badge (even though it's technically not a Girl Scout Senior badge). Sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
