Babysitting is a great way to build responsibility and caregiving skills (and earn some extra money!). Whether Girl Scouts are getting ready to begin babysitting, or they've already started, this badge will help them become the best babysitter. We’ll cover how to start a babysitting business, professionalism, child development, and complete a first aid course including coverage of CPR skills (Cadettes will not be CPR Certified in this program). Participants will receive a certificate of completion for the course.

Program Aide Training—Cookie College Nov. 12 AND Nov. 19 5:30-8 pm $60 per Girl Scout Max Girl Scouts: 15 Max Adults: 2 Reg. Deadline: Oct. 29

By guiding or teaching others, Girl Scouts act as a mentor. As a Girl Scout mentor, girls gain experience by sharing skills, testing knowledge, and trying out new leadership roles. The younger girls they mentor get a chance to be with and learn from older Girl Scouts—some of their favorite people! In this program, Girl Scouts will become a certified Program Aide, and will even get to help facilitate the Edward Jones Cookie College Program. Following completion of this training, girls will be able to sign up to assist at other Girl Scout events as well! This program has two sessions, and Girl Scouts will be required to volunteer for the Cookie College event on December 7. Dinner is included for both training sessions.

Girl Scouts earn their Program Aide Award.

Grades 6-12

On this Extreme Adventure, Girl Scouts will experience rock climbing and rappelling on a natural rock face. They do not need to have any climbing experience, just a desire to try new things and comfortable spending time outdoors.

Lunch, snacks and all climbing equipment is included. A prep meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 6. The Extreme Adventures programs offer 6-12 grade Girl Scouts unique and "extreme" outdoor related opportunities—see pg. 8 for more information about the program.
