Program Aide training is a designed leadership course that will teach
valuable skills about being a mentor and sharing your passions and
experience and skills, with younger Girl Scouts! Program Aides have
the unique opportunity to serve as champions for the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience.
All girls 6th grade
thru 8th grade, are invited to attend Program Aide training which
involves learning to work with children and adapting activities for
special needs and situations. You will be putting your new skills to
the test with some hands on activities that will prepare you for real
life situations working with younger girls in troop, day camp, council
and service unit events.
