I used to work for the Baltimore Museum of Industry and we used to do Girl
Scout sleepovers in January, February and March.  We limited participation
to the Junior Girl Scouts, we had one or two Brownie troops sneak in a few
times, but they really couldn't keep up with the activities and messed up
our schedule for the other girls, so we were careful after that.

We based our activities on badge requirements.  It's been over 4 years since
I did one of these, I don't think they do them anymore, but I'm sure whoever
is in charge at BMI now could dig in their education files and give you more
info.

www.thebmi.org is the website
