Program Calendar 2011-2012

Metro Service Center P.O. Box 32335 Louisville, KY 40232-2335 (502) 636-0900 www.gskentuckiana.org

Welcome Welcome to a new year in Girl Scouts! We are looking forward to all the exciting adventures that girls will take this year in Girl Scouts. Please be sure to check out all the details in this program calendar. There are many events offered to give girls a variety of experiences. Plus we work hard to make events affordable. It is important to make sure to include your girls in the decision making and plans for your troop. We also encourage troops to participate in the product programs. There are many skills that girls gain by participating in the Fall Product and Cookie Programs such as goal setting, entrepreneurial skills, money management and more. And by participating in product programs, your troop can earn funds to help pay for the great programs offered in this calendar. We would like to welcome Rachel Ray to our Metro staff. Rachel will be handling all program and training registrations for Metro. You can reach Rachel at rray@kyanags.org or at 636-0900 x 20000. When you come to visit the Metro Service Center, Rachel will be at the first desk as you enter. Again this year, we plan to mail the Metro Media newsletter to all 01 troop leaders, service unit managers and Juliettes. This is made affordable by ad sales from area vendors who support Girl Scouting. If you are not a troop leader, service unit manager or Juliette, you can still purchase a subscription for $10.00 for the troop year for your newsletter to be mailed to your home. The Metro Media includes upcoming program events for girls, important product program details, upcoming trainings for leaders, family and community partnership details and council news. For any information about the Metro Media, including purchasing a subscription, contact Brady DeLuca (bdeluca@kyanags.org 636-0900 x 21900). THANKS much for all you do as a leader to provide the girls a great experience! Enjoy a wonderful year!

Council-Sponsored Product Programs The Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana provides two program opportunities for troops and Juliettes to earn needed funds for activities. Girls who participate in these programs learn important skills to help them face real life challenges. These learned skills are lessons money canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy.

Fall Product Program The Fall Product Program is held during the months of October and November. It is a multipart program meant to involve friends and families only. Step 1 is the Nut & Candy sale through Ashdon Farms. Step 2 is address booklets and Step 3 is the sale of magazine subscriptions, books and CDs through QSP.

Cookie Program The Cookie Program is held each year during the months of January - March. Much more than a way to raise money, the Cookie Program is a hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program. Leadership learning is built into the Cookie Program with experiences designed for each grade level of Girl Scouting. Girls learn skills, not from a book, but from real-life experiences; skills that will last long after the Cookie Program ends.

GOAL SETTING DECISION MAKING MONEY MANAGEMENT PEOPLE SKILLS BUSINESS ETHICS Why do they matter? Because when your Girl Scout has learned these skills, she’ll be poised for success in her career. Think about it: When employers interview job candidates, they all look for the same things. This is true whether the employer is a bank, high-tech company, university, hospital, publishing house, car dealership, accounting firm, or even the local pet store! They want:

Someone who can set goals and meet deadlines. Blowing a deadline can mean blowing a deal!

Someone who works well with others. Who wants to deal with strife and complaining in the workplace? Not the boss!

Someone who understands customers. It doesn’t matter whether the “customers” are hospital patients, TV viewers, or other companies—every business has to know its customers and what they want.

Someone who can influence others. This doesn’t just mean selling a product. Employers want people who can sell ideas, pitch projects and convince other employees to help out. OR sell ideas, pitch projects and make deals.

Someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable. Kind of goes without saying—or it should!

Sound like anyone you know? That’s your Girl Scout, using the 5 Skills she learned in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. 5

Seniors and Ambassadors may attend events without a chaperone, but must bring a completed health history and permission form with them.

Refunds will be issued if a program is cancelled, or in the event of an illness or family emergency only. All refund requests must be submitted in advance. There are no refunds for “no shows.” In the event of weather related cancellations—troops will be offered the reschedule date before a refund will be issued.

GS Cadette Media Journey Series

Cadettes

Would you like to complete the MEdia Journey with a group of your fellow Girl Scout Cadettes? If so, then this is the series for you. We will complete all of the requirements of the journey in this series. All you have to do is register and participate in the journey sessions. While some of this series will be preplanned, there will be numerous opportunities for girl led, learn by doing, and cooperative learning. We will kick off the MEdia series with an overnighter at the PLC in September where we will explore online safety, monitor our media sources, and take a look into advertising - how companies tailor their ads to a target audience and how consumers react to those ads. Then on Sunday afternoons, we will break down the different MEdia sources and determine their influence on us and our influence on them. These afternoons may also include some field trips to area MEdia resources. In January, we will hold our influence overnighter and explore the ways that the MEdia influences how we see ourselves and others. We will also explore ways to have a voice to enhance the way that the MEdia approaches us. Then in February, we will review our new MEdia know-how and cultivate our individual mission statements and celebrate the completion of our Journey. The cost of this series is $20 and will include your GS Cadette MEdia journey book, the awards set, and materials.
