Board approves one-day alcohol license for Girl Scouts fundraiser at Camp Todd

The Caroline County Board of License Commissioners voted to approve a one-day alcoholic beverage license for the Girl Scouts of Chesapeake Bay to host "Legacy at the Lakefront," a 21-and-over fundraiser at Camp Todd on June 13, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Staff told commissioners the group's packet included a completed application, a site plan and a valid alcohol-awareness certificate, and estimated attendance at roughly 100 to 200 adults. The board was told the event will celebrate the camp's anniversary and include music, a silent auction, games and photo displays.

Crystal Wheatley, a representative of the Girl Scouts of Chesapeake Bay, described the beverage plan and logistics: "Each attendee will get two tickets for alcoholic drinks," she said. Wheatley said the group will use a beverage wagon and registration limits to ensure only ticketed adults receive alcohol; she added staff will check IDs at registration and that signage will mark the no-alcohol zones.

Commissioners asked how the serving area would be controlled and recommended measures to prevent attendees from taking alcohol toward the parking lot. A board member noted the camp's layout limits egress but urged signage and staff oversight to reduce the risk of guests leaving with alcohol.

Commissioner Dawn Mayorga moved to approve the license and a fellow commissioner seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The board recorded no formal roll-call tally in the provided transcript.

The board's approval was conditioned on the materials in the organization's packet and the event's adherence to the site plan and alcohol-control measures discussed. Staff said they would issue the approval letter and follow up as needed.
