What is a Program Aide?

 

Girl Scouts is all about leadership!  Girls started on the leadership path as Daisies or Brownies or Juniors, as they began to understand and develop values, knowledge and skills to explore the world, care about others, and team up to make the world a better place. 

A Program Aide is a girl who uses her existing leadership knowledge and works to develop her skills so she can share her interests and experiences with younger girls in a troop, group or camp setting.  She sets the example for younger scouts, shares her experience, helps the younger scouts to find and develop their own leadership skills, under the guidance of adult mentors.

 

Who:  We will have 2 groups: 

·         Tweedles = entering grade 8 or above  

·         Tweedles2B = entering grade 7 or above with no previous camp leadership experience

 

 

What:

·         Tweedles will be paired up to help lead their own unit of younger girls at camp, under the guidance of adult mentors.

 

·         Tweedles2B will have their own unit at camp where they will spend part of their day in leadership camp, going through the Program Aide (PA) training.  The other part of their days will be divided between leadership opportunities with the youngest scouts and fun camp activities of their own.

 

 

When:  

Tweedles will be asked to attend a training session at a location to be determined after registration. The first 3 hours will be teen specific leadership training while the last 2 hours will include the adult mentors for Day Camp Unit Leader training.

 

 

How:  Sign up at the registration table and complete a Program Aide application.  Be sure to leave the best email address that you will check so we may contact you!
