The Milky Way galaxy is the name given by the humans on Earth to their home galaxy.
The Super Scouts apparently know specific information regarding the galaxy; an older male Super Scout corrects Marcy by saying that the number of stars is 114 billion, and not the 110 billion she mentions during her presentation (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
