Older Girls & Leadership Trainings
Does your older girl want to expand her leadership skills? She can join day camp at the Cathy Novinger Girl Scout Leadership Center as a Program Aide (PA) or Counselor in Training (CIT). Girls entering seventh through twelfth grade can attend day camp and work on their volunteer hours. Not a PA or CIT yet? We offer training for the first two weeks of camp! Your girl can attend the rest of the summer as a PA or CIT, as well as participate in year-round volunteer opportunities.
