Maine High Adventure
Campfire Waterhole Cove
We are the First Scouts BSA Troop for Girls in Baltimore City: Formed in 2019 as Troop 612G formerly sponsored by Grace United Methodist Church. In 2023, we changed our name to Troop 635, and are now chartered at the Church of the Redeemer in Baltimore(5603 N Charles St, Baltimore 21210) We have a dedicated group of about 16 scouts currently and are looking to grow. We are an inclusive group that values diversity, integrity, and grit.
Our Mission is to Build Young Women of Character through Scouting. We believe that high expectations, progressive leadership, and engaging, adventurous activities will cultivate in our Scouts valued skills, high self-esteem, and character traits that will make them leaders of their generation.
We Get Outside! With 6 weekend Campouts a year + Summer Camp + hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, and kayaking activities, our Scouts love to be outside and explore Nature’s wonders.
We give back! Our Scouts have helped their communities during the pandemic by organizing food drives in conjunction with Grace United and our brother troop, writing letters to hospitalized patients, cleaning up parks and streams, and making casseroles for charities. Three Scout-led service projects are required to attain the Eagle Scout rank.
We do BSA High Adventure! These are lovely capstone experiences for our older Scouts. We did white-water canoeing and hiking with an 8-day backcountry excursion at Maine High Adventure in July 2022, and expect to hike Philmont, dive at SeaBase or participate in other High Adventures in upcoming years.
We have High Expectations for our Scouts ... We expect that every Scout who works hard and wants to be an Eagle Scout will attain the rank. Our older scouts teach younger Scouts new skills and lead programs throughout the year. We want our program to be fun and engaging for Scouts until they turn 18.
... And our Families! We want parents to be involved with the Troop and share their knowledge and expertise! We are not a “drop-and-run” Troop; we will value your help. The difference that the T-612G experience makes in the lives of young women makes it worthwhile.
