Forensics Weekend 2026

Do you like to solve mysteries or look for clues? Can you compile evidence and identify a suspect? Join other Cadettes for our annual Forensics Weekend event at Camp Casa Mare to put your Special Agent skills to the test.

Program materials, event patch, and the earned badge are provided. Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus Sunday breakfast are provided. Attendees will receive their lodging assignments at check-in. Casa Mare accommodations are all dorms with AC and heat. Multiple troops will be sharing each dorm. Any accommodations needed such as dietary restrictions or housing needs should be emailed to Customer Service by December 1.

Cadettes will rotate through sessions chosen by our Girl Planning Board to meet the requirements of the Special Agent badge and provide a fun weekend. Adult support is needed to make this event a success. Adults registering for this event will act as dorm or room chaperones and assist with kitchen duties such as a server or dishwasher.

Note: Registrants for January event will be given priority for registration.

Note: No at-the-door registrations or registration changes are accepted. Please be diligent in ensuring the correct girls are registered so materials can be prepared appropriately. Any registrant swaps should be completed at least 3 weeks in advance, so they can be facilitated before the cancellation deadline. A menu for the weekend will be available appropriately three weeks before the event and posted in this event registration.
