T-Shirt for each camper Registrations received after T-Shirt deadline may receive a blank shirt. Please indicate T-shirt size on the registration form. HOW TO SELECT A UNIT LEVEL: Please DO NOT select your UNIT based on who may be leading the unit. Girls of particular Troops will NOT necessarily be placed with leaders from their troop who are running units. All placement is based on date of receipt of registration and number of girls per age unit and Camp Directors reserve the right to limit the number of girls per unit as needed for appropriate supervision. Once a unit is full, the camper may be placed in a second or third option as space allows. We CANNOT guarantee that you will receive a particular UNIT and strongly recommend that you list an alternate preference for unit as available. UNIT AGE LEVELS Daisy (Grades K-1), Brownies (2-3), Juniors (4-5) and Cadette (6-8) Determine the grade the camper will complete at the end of this school year. If grade completed and following grade are both in same age level that is your unit level. (Example: Grade completed is 2 nd and next grade is 3 rd Unit should be Brownies) If grade completed is one age level and following grade falls into the next age level, we recommend selecting the higher age level. (Example- If Grade completed is 3rd and next grade is 4th- we recommend selecting a Junior Unit since camper will bridge to Juniors the following school year). Only Grade 3 Brownies will be considered for overnight brownie unit.
