NEW HANOVER â With a unanimous vote, the New Hanover Township Supervisors Thursday voted to offer $600,000, spread out over 10 years, to help with the preservation of the 455-acre Laughing Waters Girl Scout Camp.

The grants being sought â $250,000 from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and $250,000 from the Department of Community and Economic Development â would help get to the $3.9 million price tag of putting a conservation easement on the entire camp.
The supervisors balked at the request last month, and said, somewhat pointedly, that they thought it was a lot to ask for when Upper Frederick Township, where 17 percent of the camp is located, was only being asked to contribute $1,200.
