Wayne Community College Continuing Education and the Girl Scouts of North Carolina Coastal Pines Council will hold a Girl Scouts Badge Boot Camp for rising sixth through 12th graders.
It is scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to noon on July 24 to 27.
The campers will work toward badges appropriate for their grade level: babysitter and netiquette badges for cadettes (grades six through eight) and car care and business etiquette badges for seniors (grades nine through10). Ambassadors (grades 11 through 12) will design a Girl Scouts marketing and recruitment project.
Cost is $50 for Girl Scout members and non-members are to pay $65 to participate -- which includes a year's membership in the organization.
Registration forms and more information about this camp can be found at www.waynecc.edu/career-exploration-camps or by contacting Lisa Newkirk at 919-739-6931 or ldnewkirk@waynecc.edu.
Wayne Community College encourages people with disabilities to participate in its programs.
Anyone who anticipates needing accommodation or has questions about access should contact Newkirk.
