Girl Scout Troop to hold Summer Badge Camp

Weeklong camp serves as Gold Award fundraiser

Girl Scout Troop 1887 from Carmel High School will hold a Summer Badge Camp for girls ages 5 to 10.

The weeklong, half-day camp is scheduled to take place July 14 to 18 at the Carmel Lion’s Club, from 8 a.m. to noon each day. The camp is a fundraiser for the troop’s Gold Award projects, the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve.

“These girls, many of whom have been Girl Scouts since kindergarten, have a deep appreciation of scouting,” Troop Leader Tammy Sander said. “They’re natural leaders and compassionate mentors who can’t wait to share their love for scouting with younger girls.”

Campers will earn five badges during the week: Mechanical Engineering, Outdoor Arts, Performance, Democracy, and Citizenship. Activities are hands-on, creative, and designed to inspire curiosity and confidence. The camp is open to all girls, regardless of whether they’re enrolled in Girl Scouts.

“This camp is going to be so much fun!” Senior Scout Rivee Eilenberg said. “We’re so excited to work with the younger girls and help them earn their badges. It’s going to be a fun, busy week full of crafts, games, and learning.

Early bird registration is open now through May 21, with a discounted rate of $150 per participant. Click here to learn more.
