You can still sign up to rock the National Mall in Washington, DC June 6-10, 2012 with Girl Scouts across the nation! Registration is open through late fall -- and remember, the more people who sign up, the lower the cost. (Current cost is $1,386 for girls and $1,546 for adults; subject to change without notice).

To date, we have 18 people signed up to rock the mall. Participants must be 11 years and older at the time of the trip and do not need a guardian to attend -- chaperones will be provided by council staff.
