2026 CIT I & II Sleep-Away Camp Early Camper Placement Process

 PLEASE REVIEW THIS INFORMATION IN FULL BEFORE COMPLETING THE FORM:

1. PROGRAM SELECTION IS BASED ON YOUR CAMPER'S CURRENT GRADE FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR (i.e. THE GRADE YOUR CAMPER IS IN RIGHT NOW AS YOU FILL OUT THIS FORM)
2. Girl Scout Membership: This early camper placement process is designed for youth with active Girl Scout memberships whose primary Council is Girl Scouts Nation's Capital. Campers MUST have a current 2025-2026 Girl Scouts Nation's Capital membership to be considered in the first round of placements. Please note that memberships are non-refundable.
   • Out of Council Campers: If Nation's Capital is not your primary Council, you are welcome to enter a submission in the early camper placement process and will be placed, if space permits, after all Nation's Capital members have been placed. An active 2025-2026 membership is required for ANY Girl Scout placed in a program.
3. Early Camper Placement Process Open Dates: Submissions will be accepted from 10:00AM on Monday, December 15, 2025 to 11:59 PM on Monday, January 5, 2026.
4. Submissions: All entries submitted during that time will have an equal chance at placement. This is NOT a "first come, first served" process. Completing this form DOES NOT guarantee placement. It does NOT matter if you submit an entry at 10 AM on December 15th or if you submit an entry at 11:55 PM on January 5th. We encourage you to submit your camper's entry at a time that is convenient for you while the process is open.
5. Payment: This form DOES NOT collect payment. There is no cost to submit entry into the learly camper placement process.
6. Number of Entries: Each Girl Scout (youth) may submit an entry once. Each entry allows the Girl Scout to select their top choices. View our program grid here.
7. Multiple Submissions: If multiple submissions are received for the same Girl Scout we will accept only the latest submission received-- earlier submissions will be discarded.
8. Placement Result Notifications: Entries will be randomly selected for programs between January 6th and January 11th. Notification of the placement results will be emailed to the email address of primary caregiver (see below) by Monday, January 12, 2026.
   
   • If you do not receive a notification email by 10:00AM on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, it is your responsibility to contact us at councilcare@gscnc.org and ask that the email be retransmitted.
9. Successful Placement: For those who are placed in a program, the email will include a link to accept your space by providing your deposit. If you do not pay the $25.00 deposit by 10:00AM on Tuesday, January 20th, your Girl Scout's spot will not be guaranteed and will be available during general registration for anyone to register.
10. Non-Placement: For those who could not be placed, general registration will open on Tuesday, January 20th at 10:00AM and all available and unclaimed spots will be available for everyone to register. We will not have a wait list or have early registration for non-placed campers.

Pre-Check Your Girl Scout's Membership!

Enter your Girl Scout's membership ID and push the button.  Look at the information that is pre-populated.  If it's correct, you can feel confident that your Girl Scout has a valid membership with their Primary Council as the Girl Scouts Nation's Capital.

Please note that these fields are read only fields - you can NOT edit them.

If your information can not be found via the pre-check, you'll be asked to provide more information so that we can manually verify your information.

The pre-check data was downloaded from MyGS on December 15, 2025 at 6:00am.  If you've become a member or updated your account after that time the changes will not be reflected below.

These fields are read only fields - you can NOT edit them.

You entered the name:  {shortText} as your Girl Scout's first name above.  It should match the pre-check below.

We believe Girl Scouts is for everyone! The Girl Scout Promise Fund helps remove financial barriers so all girls can enjoy the full range of Girl Scout experiences. This fund can support attendance at summer sleep-away camp by offering reduced rate, or even covering the full cost.

NEW THIS YEAR: If you need the Girl Scout Promise Fund to cover your camper’s Sleep-Away Camp registration IN FULL, please indicate that below. If your camper is placed during the early placement process, you will receive a code with your placement notification. You’ll use this code when registering after January 5 to have the entire camp fee covered.

If you only need part of the fee covered, you’ll receive a link in your confirmation email after registering for the camp program (after January 5th). That link will allow you to request a camp scholarship to help cover the cost. If you do not request full coverage now and then your circumstances change, you will still be able to request a 100% camp scholarship at a later time.
