Girl Scouts Camp Deal Fails In Frederick After City Backing Out
The Penn Laurel Girl Scout Council failed to secure a 125 acre camp in Frederick County when the Frederick City aldermen rejected a 14 dollar yearly lease and the plan to build facilities. Mayor Jennifer Dougherty expressed disappointment but pledged to seek alternative campground options while the council pursues other properties and continues fundraising and a state grant already won. Frances A. Randall, a longtime booster, lamented the outcome but said the council will press ahead to serve about 4,000 area scouts.
