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 July 24-27.

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.

Wayne Community College encourages people with disabilities to participate in its programs.
