Frederick Scouts Camp Ground Bid Ends as Board Pulls Support
The Penn Laurel Girl Scout Council ends its nearly year-long push for a Frederick County campground after the Frederick City Board of Aldermen withdraws backing amid lease concerns. The council still seeks a permanent site and invites landowners or donors to offer land or consider a buy or lease, noting a state grant of 100000 and private donations totaling 250000. Local residents are urged to help ensure 4200 Girl Scouts can enjoy camp nearby instead of traveling to Pennsylvania.
