Program Power 2010 – 2011

Welcome to an exciting year in Girl Scouting!

We hope you are ready for a year of adventure, service, and discovery, because that’s what you’ll find inside the pages of this year’s Program Power. All activities are designed with girls in mind to spark their interests, address their concerns, build their skills, and explore the world around them.

Program Power offers you as a troop leader, interesting ideas and resources that will provide a variety of opportunities for your Girl Scouts. The programs offered are to help girls build new skills, self- confidence and friendships during their journey in Girl Scouting. Many of the program activities listed in this guide and found in the “Activities/Events” section of the council website may also be attended by individual girls.

Find out how you can encourage healthy living among girls, increase girls’ involvement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, as well as improve their financial literacy by participating in the fall product and cookie programs. We’ve also included opportunities for improving your local environment by participating in community service projects, and expanded our selection of outdoor programs at any one of our four properties.

Still not quite sure how the Girl Scout Leadership Experience impacts girls? Be sure to read What Did You Do Today?, on pages 10-11, where you will also get tips on how to customize your troop’s leadership journey in creating a fun and exciting experience for girls. The journey will be so much more fun and relevant as you assist girls in making it their own.

We’ve also included this fall’s Training schedule, forms for the various activities, and a nine-month calendar to use as you and your girls plan your year of activities.

Depending on the program, the event registration form may need to be mailed or faxed to the organization providing the program or event and not to the council’s Program department.

Be sure to check for registration deadlines, and enclose a deposit or fee if required. Not every program registration will be the same, so remember to follow the specific instructions given.

The Program team adds activities throughout the year and new program information is included in the council’s monthly email newsletter, the Just for Girls newsletter, or on the council website at www.gsle.org. We encourage you to follow us on Facebook (Girl Scouts Louisiana East) and Twitter (GSLEcouncil).

We invite your troop to take a moment and choose the activities that inspire them to gain courage, confidence, and character, and make the world a better place!

FAQs

Program Frequently Asked Questions Who can participate in Girl Scout events?

Is there a wait-list for a “FULL” event?

There are opportunities for registered Girl Scouts ages 5-17 to be involved in Girl Scouting as members of a troop, group, or as Juliettes who are individually registered Girl Scouts.

Yes. Once an event reaches capacity we file registrations in the order they are received (unless there is a need for a lottery). If a space becomes available we would contact the next registrant on the list.

Who do I contact if I have questions about the program activity?

Do adult chaperones pay for program events?

Under each program there is a contact person listed that will be able to answer questions about the event.

Who do I contact if I want to see if I’m registered for the event?

If you need to check to see if your registration or payment was received you can contact the program contact person listed under the specific program you are inquiring about.

Is financial aid available for programs?

Girls in troops are encouraged to plan for program attendance and set product sales goals accordingly. In addition, girls may apply for full or partial scholarships to attend program events. The Program Financial Assistance Request Form is available in the forms section of this publication and on the website at www.gsle.org.

When does registration open and close?

How are council program events filled?

Listed under each program offering is a registration open and deadline date. Registration is open until the maximum number of participants is reached or the deadline date arrives, whichever occurs first. If by 4 p.m. on the opening date the council has received more registrations than the maximum number of participants for that event, a random drawing will be held to select the participants. In order for your registration to be processed the full amount of the fee must be included with the registration.

8

When fees are listed per girl, adults do not have to pay for the event. When fees are listed per person, any individual attending the event must pay the fee.

What is the leader’s responsibility for the event if the whole troop attends?

The leaders must provide a sufficient number of adults to meet Safety-Wise ratios. They must also ensure that there is a currently certified first aider, a First Aid kit, the original permission slip for each girl, completed Health History Record for each girl, completed Health History for each adult, and items listed in event or confirmation description. The leader is responsible for monitoring her troop/group’s behavior and actions.

Will I receive confirmation of our participation in a council-sponsored event?

Yes. A confirmation goes to the troop leader, adult in charge, or individual registering prior to the event with directions and instructions for the event (usually by email). Make sure that information is distributed to troop members who are attending the event.

What is the refund policy?

A 100% refund is made only when the council cancels the event. A partial refund of the total event fee is made if the Program Department is notified with a written letter two weeks before the event registration deadline date. Leaders may substitute another registered Girl Scout for one who is absent. All refunds are made to the troop in care of the leader two to four weeks after the event date. Refunds made to registered individuals will be sent to the guardian of the registered girl. Fees are not refunded for no-show troops and/or girls. Please note that events are not cancelled due to weather unless conditions are severe.

Program Power 2010 – 2011

How to Register for Program Events To register, follow these steps: 1.

How do we ensure that girls have a safe and enjoyable time at events?

All events are planned according to Girl Scout Safety-Wise standards. Please adhere to Safety-Wise at all Girl Scout programs (i.e. using the buddy system, etc.).

How will I know that an event has been cancelled?

If you are attending an event hosted by the council and it is cancelled the adult listed on the event registration form will be notified by phone. We will also update the Activity & Events Calendar on the council website.

Are Badges included?

No. It is the responsibility of the leader or parent to purchase Try-its, Badges, Interest Project patches, and Charms that were earned. Sometimes at certain events Badges are purchased by the sponsors and are distributed the day of the event.

Can troop leaders or parents attend Cadette-Ambassador and Council events?

Most older girl events are designed for individual girl participation in keeping with Girl Scouting’s goal of fostering independence and leadership. For these events, Safety-Wise ratio adult chaperones are provided by the council. However, some events are open to leader/parent participation, and details can be found in each event’s Notes section.

What Did You Do Today?

In Girl Scouts, the answer is almost anything a girl would like to do! The Girl Scout Leadership Experience reflects the ever-changing needs and interests of participating girls. It provides girls in kindergarten through twelfth grade with a wide variety of leadership opportunities available in Girl Scout journeys, books, awards, websites, as well as other resources.

The program encourages increased skill-building and responsibility, and also promotes the development of strong leadership and decision-making skills. All program activities are gradeappropriate and based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, as well as on the Girl Scout Promise and Law. No matter what age, girls learn the value and the fun of sharing experiences in an all-girl environment, with caring, trained adults to serve as mentors and role models. All activities are designed with girls in mind to spark their interests, address their concerns, build their skills, and explore the world around them.

Customize!

Use your adult journey guide as a base for creating a fun and exciting experience for girls. You'll find ideas about using activities, starting discussions, and earning awards so that the "whole" feels like one big adventure.

The journey will be so much more fun and relevant as you assist girls in making it their own!

Flexible!

Sample sessions in the journeys suggest several ways to engage girls. Many girls and volunteers will quickly find there is more they will want to do! The journey books are filled with tips for you to add more to the experience. Let everyone's imaginations take hold and extend the journey with ideas from girls. Do you have a short time frame? Follow the tips about doing what's most important!

Link!

Are Ambassadors interested in partnering? What would happen if Seniors worked together? What do Cadettes in your area have to offer to Juniors?

What if Brownies link up on steps of their journey?

How could Daisies benefit from meeting other Daisies? Connecting helps make a powerful Girl Scout journey!

Explore Stories!

Stories capture the imagination and motivate, and inspire us to put values into action. The journeys engage girls in stories—real and fictional—of girls and women taking action in the world. You and the girls decide how much time to spend on them before going on to create their own adventures.

Leadership and You!

As a Girl Scout volunteer, your experiences—and your view of leadership—will influence and inspire girls. Use the reflection exercises in your journey guide to think about the three leadership keys (Discover, Connect, and Take Action) and how you can best apply them as you team up with Girl Scouts on their journey.

What’s next?

Available in 2011, the “It’s Your Story—Tell It!” leadership journey series uses a storytelling theme in a fun and gradelevel relevant way for girls to better understand themselves and their potential. On this journey, an emphasis is placed on building a strong sense of self as well as on media literacy

www.GSLE.org

and creative expression. All along the journey, girls have opportunities to engage in a variety of arts, including performing, visual, culinary, and new media, to tell their stories and take action to make the world a better place.

In September 2011, every Girl Scout at every level will use two things that will make her part of a powerful sisterhood: the Journey of her choice, and The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting, which will provide updated badge activities and handbook information for girls.

Initiatives and Advocacy Girl Scouts has a long-standing commitment to the well being of girls and serves over 20,000 girls and adult volunteers throughout southeast Louisiana. For almost 100 years, Girl Scouts has been engaged in girl’s lives and a resource and expert on their growth and development. To advance our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place, and ensuring that all girls have the opportunity to be successful, Girl Scouts has developed several areas of focus, with a commitment to advocacy in order to address issues important to girls and Girl Scouting on a local, regional, and national level.

Encouraging Healthy Living Among Girls

Through our program experience and research, Girl Scouts has a unique understanding of the complex issue of healthy living and what motivates girls to adopt healthy lifestyles. Not only does this mean grappling with issues such as childhood obesity and school safety, but there are a wide range of related and overlooked issues, such as relational aggression and cyberbullying, healthy media images, and eating disorders, that directly and disproportionately affect girls’ health.

With more than 60 healthy living-related badges and a historic emphasis on health in the Girl Scout experience, girls are educated and empowered to take action to strengthen their physical and emotional health and positively impact their communities and the world. Additionally, the Girl Scout Research Institute report, The New Normal? What Girls Say About Healthy Living, tell us that girls believe health combines good nutrition and physical fitness with emotional and social well-being.

Many of this year’s programs support Girl Scouts’ Healthy Living Initiative.

Support Healthy Media Images for Girls – Take Action!

Did you know...

• • •

Nearly 90% of girls say the media places a lot of pressure on teenage girls to be thin Only 46% of girls think that the fashion industry does a good job of representing people of all races and ethnicities 55% of teenage girls admit they diet to lose weight and 37% know a girl with an eating disorder (Girls & Body Image, 2010)

Girl Scouts worked closely with Congresswomen Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) to introduce the Healthy Media for Youth Act (H.R. 4925). This bill supports media literacy programs and youth empowerment groups, facilitates research on how images of women and girls impact youth, and establishes a National Taskforce on Women and Girls in the Media to develop voluntary standards that promote healthy, balanced, and positive images of girls and women.

Contact your U.S. Representative today and ask him or her to be a Voice for Girls and support H.R. 4925! The Girl Scouts Advocacy Network (www.girlscouts4girls.org) has crafted a draft email for your use, but feel free to customize it to share information about why this issue is important to you.

Take on Relational Aggression and Cyberbullying – Take Action!

Cyberbullying, exclusion, gossip, rumor-spreading, covert and overt aggression, and destruction of self-worth makes it difficult for our girls to be confident and successful. Bullying in today’s society is much more complicated than it was for many of us growing up. With the advent of social networking sites a girl who is a target of bullying can now be taunted on an international level.

Girl Scouts Louisiana East has developed a relational aggression program for our council and we need several troops to volunteer to pilot the program. If you are interested in helping to make this program meet the needs of our girls, contact Yvette Hairston, attn: Relational Aggression Pilot Program. For more information email Yvette Hairston at yhairston@gsle.org.

One-day Conference for educators, parents, and community leaders – Save the date!

Girl Scouts Louisiana East will host a one-day conference on Saturday, January 29, thanks in part to funding from the Louisiana Children’s Trust Fund. Experts in the field will present topics on relational aggression and cyberbullying to assist you in dealing with female bullying in your troops, classrooms and family.

Program Power 2010 – 2011

Increasing Girls’ Involvement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

Around 3rd grade, girls begin to lose interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). As they age, the problem only gets worse - the percentage of girls who say they would not study math anymore given the choice increases from 9% to 50% in the years between 4th and 12th grades. As a result, women are vastly underrepresented in STEM fields – at a time when our country needs all the scientists and engineers it can educate. With more than 70 badges and patches and a journey program entitled, It’s Your Planet Love It!, focused on STEM-related activities, Girl Scouts are encouraged to explore many possibilities in STEM-related fields.

Check out the following Girl Scout programs that increase girls’ involvement in STEM, including environmental science.

Girl Scouts Forever Green – Take Action!

Girl Scouts Louisiana East is participating in a national community action project, Girl Scouts Forever Green! Join us as we help girls develop and use their leadership skills to impact the environment in their schools and communities to improve air quality, energy use, water use, waste management, and use of green space. All troops are asked to participate in an earth-friendly project, and as a council we’re encouraging everyone to reduce plastic waste by promoting the use of reusable bottles and shopping bags!

www.GSLE.org

Start an Energy Wave! – Take Action!

YOU can be a part of this very important movement. So…..

Power Down and Green Up every third Thursday of each month. Enjoy outdoor activities…. Have a Lights Out Lunch at school, home or the office! Educate someone in our community on how they can be a part of the Energy Wave and be Forever Green!

Power Down and Green Up one more time when you return home and light a candle to celebrate your efforts and the energy you saved earlier in the day! Continue your efforts throughout the year by keeping the Green Wave going in your household, school and community! Educate your neighbors and friends on ways to Stay Green! Think of more creative ways you can conserve energy everyday and Pledge to be Forever Green!

Improving Financial Literacy

The current economic crisis has highlighted the need to improve financial literacy among all Americans. With youth controlling more than $172 billion in spending, and one in three carrying a credit card, we must ensure that all youth – including girls – have the information they need to properly save, spend, budget, and invest. Moreover, as women are more likely to earn less, work fewer years and live longer on smaller retirement benefits than men, teaching girls personal finance early is crucial to helping them avoid financial insecurity as they mature.

From the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program – often girls’ first introduction to business planning and entrepreneurship– to innovative programs like CentsAbility and The Penny Project, Girl Scouts has a long history of working with girls to deliver informal financial education and ensure their financial literacy. It’s important that we ensure that all girls have solid financial literacy skills and support the role of youth-serving organizations in providing real-world financial literacy experiences for girls.

The following programs support Girl Scouts’ Financial Literacy Initiative.

National Brand Initiative Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is revitalizing and reenergizing its brand to reach a new generation of girls. In refreshing the brand identity, Girl Scouts of the USA has aimed to stay true to Girl Scouting’s brand values—the cornerstones of leadership, sisterhood, and inclusion. Girl Scouts of the USA created a visual brand language that conveys the Girl Scout movement as it exists today and that speaks to our core audience—girls, in a way that engages and resonates with them. Most importantly, in all of the brand work, it’s important we communicate our brand promise: Girl Scouts gives every girl access to life-changing experiences that inspire her to do something big.

The branding is composed of a striking new visual identity, which includes a distinctive trefoil mark, revised color palette, and refreshed logo that was originally created in the 1970s by the legendary designer Saul Bass. This publication utilizes the new logo and color palette.

Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary We are thrilled to be approaching the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of the USA on March 12, 2012 and we’re gearing up to celebrate this occasion in style! The 100th Anniversary is an exciting milestone and a cause for celebration among Girl Scouts worldwide. Please join us in planning our council’s 100th Anniversary celebration (s) by joining one of our task groups who will be planning girl, fundraising, and alumnae events.

If you are interested in hearing more, please contact Robin Guillmette, Executive Vice President of Membership and Program at 225-927-8946 or rguillmette@gsle.org.

Annual Family Giving Campaign No one believes in the potential of a girl more than her family. It is her family who invests in her every day, through guidance, sharing of values, and the moral, physical, and financial support necessary to ensure she grows into a confident, courageous woman.

Every year we ask Girl Scout families to make a financial contribution to continue our exciting programming, and to keep our facilities in good condition. In 2009, it cost the council $223 per girl to provide materials, programs, training, and support for each Girl Scout.

This organized, council-wide request for financial contributions helps to underwrite the cost of providing the Girl Scout Program to every girl member in our council. It is a way parents and adult Girl Scouts can tangibly express their belief in the value of Girl Scouting and make a difference in the lives of young women.

This year, Service Units have set goals for participation in the Annual Family Giving Campaign. Every Service Unit that reaches their goal by December 22, 2010 will receive a free S.U. encampment at Camp Whispering Pines (expires December 2011). Camp Fees will be waived. All other fees apply, i.e. activity and facilitator fees, food, etc. This is a savings of over $400!

2010 – 2011 Product Sale Information

Participating in the council-sponsored fall product and cookie programs teaches girls the five essentials skills of goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics, as well as provides much needed financial support for troops and the council. The proceeds from these sales enable girls to fund their troop activities as well as provide for upkeep of council properties, leadership training, and other council-wide initiatives.

In order to participate in money-earning activities, a girl must be a registered member of Girl Scouts. All age levels, including Daisies, may participate in the sales. Participation is voluntary.

Fall Product Sale Is your Girl Scout troop interested in a money earning activity that’s easy, provides start up funds for the troop right away, and offers customers a variety of delicious yet inexpensive items to purchase? If you said yes, then prepare to Design your Future, Construct a Plan, and join in the council’s Fall Product Sale of nuts, candies, magazines, and address booklets.

Ashdon Farms/QSP, the licensed Girl Scout vendor, has even prepared a lot of fun activities for Girl Scouts of all ages to enjoy. You’ll begin by creating a group “blueprint” (goal setting), and continue with the activities that fit the needs and interests of your girls.

The Fall Product Sale is a “Friends and Family Campaign” which means no door-to-door or booth sales.

Sixteen different products for sale (ranging from $5 to $6) are being offered, including a collectible Girl Scout lantern tin filled with candy-coated popcorn, cranberries, and cashews. All orders are pre-paid, and the troop earns $1 for every food item sold, $2 for every address booklet (only one per girl) completed, and 10 percent of the price of each magazine sold (and an extra 5% for online sales).

This year we’ve even added community service to the sale with the option for customers to purchase honey roasted peanuts to be shipped overseas to our military troops!

16

As the girls participate in the sale they will earn troop proceeds and individual girl sellers will receive incentives ranging from the interlocking patches, plush animals, and much more. Visit www.gsle.org/ nutsandcandy/nuts.asp to view incentives, products, and for additional information.

When: Orders taken Friday, October 1 – Sunday, October 24, 2010. Girls deliver the orders in November, and since the money is precollected, the troop receives their proceeds immediately.

Cookie Program TM

The mission of the Girl Scout Cookie Program is to help girls do great things! With every season of Girl Scout cookies, another generation of girls learn five essential skills: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics. As women, they’ll need these skills, whether their goal is to start a business, a family, or both.

This year’s theme is “Starting Today” and during this Cookie Season, girls will launch their very own businesses.

A cookie start-up is challenging and lively, but with plenty of fun! Girls are proud to run My Cookie Store. Teens step up to become Cookie Entrepreneur Officers. The countless exciting possibilities of tomorrow — from new business opportunities to a healthier planet and a more beautiful world — begin with the skills they learn today. Keep a look out for more information on cookie program offerings that will allow your girls to showcase their new-found skills.

When: Cookie pre-order begins Friday, January 21, 2011 and ends Sunday, February 6, 2011. Girls may begin delivering cookies February 25 and will sell at various booth locations Friday, March 4 – Sunday, March 20, 2011.

The New Orleans Opera Association has offered tickets to Girl Scouts to attend dress rehearsal for the 2010-2011 opera season. Each of these operas is very different in its presentation styles and will offer girls a unique insight into the beauty of the world of opera. As a mandatory prerequisite for the performances the council is offering an opera orientation that will inform girls and leaders on what to expect when attending any of the opera performances.

Girls will be advised on proper dress, etiquette, and a synopsis of the opera they will be attending. If a girl has attended a previous council-sponsored orientation, it is not necessary for her to repeat it. She may review the synopsis with her leader instead.

Verdi’s “Anvil Chorus” is the signature piece in this opera, but it is surrounded by bracing and heartfelt duets and trios in an opera that is full of passion, unrequited love, revenge amongst dukes, kings, maids in waiting in ancient Aragon. It’s pure operatic drama!

Performance Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Some of the favorite Gershwin pieces are featured: Summertime, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing, I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin, and It Ain’t Necessarily So. The setting is a South Carolina coastal community that suffers through big crime and hurricanes, yet they retain their sense of community and their love of life.

Did you know that pickling is a great way to preserve food that would otherwise spoil?

Spurs

Ride’em cowgirl! Would you like to share your riding skills and knowledge of horses with younger girls? If you are 14 and older and LOVE horses, come be a part of the Girl Scouts Louisiana East’s Wrangler Program. You will be paired with adult mentors to teach Western horseback riding workshops at Camp Marydale to troops and service units. Wranglers also help out with special weekend events such as Daisy Day, Love, Hug & Groom, and Holiday Horse Rider Core Camp.

Are horses your thing? If so, get ready to saddle up and learn all about your favorite animals. If you are age 12 to 13, LOVE horses, and aren’t afraid to get dirty, get ready to take a special “behind the scenes” look at Girl Scouts Louisiana East’s Wrangler Program. Spurs will have the opportunity to “shadow” a member of the Wrangler Program to learn what it takes to be a Wrangler.

Girls 12–13

Girls 14 and older

How much time does it take?

Wranglers meet the second Tuesday of each month at the Council Regional Service Center in Baton Rouge to get up-to-date information about the horses, equipment and events at Camp Marydale. Wranglers are expected to participate in two or three weekends per semester and Wrangler Training Weekends that are scheduled twice a year, in August and January. All New Wranglers are required to attend the New Wrangler/Spur weekend trainings before they are allowed to work any other weekends.

What is a Wrangler Weekend?

These weekends are held at Camp Marydale and are designed to provide you with the opportunity to improve your basic horsemanship and riding skills, and give you a chance to get to know the other girls in the program. You will also have an opportunity to meet with horse care professionals and professional trainers. This is also the time to test to move up to a higher level. All New Wranglers are required to attend the New Wrangler/Spur weekend trainings before they are allowed to work any other weekends.

Wrangler Adults are also needed!

As with all programs we have to have enough adults working with the girls each weekend according to Safety-Wise ratios.

Girls who participate in the Spur Program are required to attend the New Wrangler/Spur Training Weekend before being allowed to attend any other weekend. This year’s New Wrangler/Spur Training Weekend will be held in January to provide you with the opportunity to improve your horsemanship, riding skills, knowledge of horse care, and a lot more. All Spurs must have a Spur Mom (two girls to one adult) attend camp with them on the weekend they sign up to work or they will not be able to attend the weekend. *Spurs are not eligible for advancement beyond Entry Level until they are 14 years old.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Wrangler or a Spur, contact Donna Dupré in the Program Department at 225927-8946, ext. 1253 or ddupre@gsle.org.

Program Power 2010 – 2011

Council Properties Camping has long been rated a favorite activity shared by both girl and adult Girl Scouts throughout the Louisiana area. Our council owns four outdoor facilities that are each unique in its own way and offer unlimited program opportunities for outdoor activities. Camp Marydale in St. Francisville and Camp Whispering Pines in Independence serve as our summer resident camps. Along with Camp Covington, they offer both day and overnight uses for our troops and service units throughout the school year. Day use facilities also include McFadden Cabin located in New Orleans’ City Park. Check out the camp patches available on page on the next page.

The following descriptions will help you in choosing the right facility for your next outdoor adventure.

Camp Covington

Recognized by the American Camp Association as a “Pioneer of Camping” site, Camp Covington is one of the oldest Girl Scout camps in use in the United States. This 23acre site located on the Bogue Falaya River near Covington is open for day use and camping with platform tent and cabin units available. A newly renovated dining hall, fire circles, frisbee disk course, archery and sand volleyball are just some of the improvements made to the camp in the last year. The sandy-bottomed Bogue Falaya remains a perfect spot for wading.

Camp Marydale

Camp Marydale is a 400-acre site in St. Francisville, LA offering year round camping with a multi-purpose building/ dining hall, cabin and tent units, and a large lodge for activities. There is a sports field; a low ropes challenge course, several hiking trails, and a swimming pool. Marydale also offers archery and a small lake for canoeing. A herd of horses are housed in a large barn, with two riding arenas.

One arena is covered to offer program in an area more climate controlled.

www.GSLE.org

Camp Whispering Pines

Camp Whispering Pines is a 600-acre site located in Independence, LA (20 miles north of Hammond, LA). The site is heavily forested with pine and river area hardwoods.

Many well established trails wind through the widely-scattered campsites. The waterfront is diverse at Camp Whispering Pines: a 23-acre lake is available for boating; a Junior Olympicsized pool is available for swimming; the Tangipahoa River borders the property; Indian Creek meanders through the back section of the camp. Camp Whispering Pines also offers program opportunities at its high ropes challenge course and rock climbing wall.

McFadden Cabin

McFadden Cabin is located in City Park behind the New Orleans Museum of Art and is used for day use only. The cabin is very popular in the early fall and late spring for ceremonies, first day outings, and art programs so booking early is highly recommended!

Camping & Outdoor Program Horseback Riding

Troops are able to participate in equestrian programs at Camp Marydale in St. Francisville or Sweetwater Riding Stable (near Camp Whispering Pines) in Independence.

All other equestrian facilities must be pre approved by the Council Program and Properties Department.

Camping on Non-Council Sites

Sites and facilities must meet all Safety-Wise standards.

Other Girl Scout camps, State and National Parks are often a good camping alternative to a council facility. Troop/ groups are allowed to camp at all Girl Scout camps, State or National Parks, and Jellystone Park in Robert, LA. All other camp facilities must be pre-approved by the Council Program and Properties Department.

Camp Whispering Pines Outdoor Adventure Series

Some very special guests will be visiting Camp Whispering Pines this year to share presentations to girls camping that weekend. Exact times of presentations will be determined closer to the exact dates. Other organizations will be added throughout the year, and there are no fees or other requirements needed to participate in these presentations other than being at camp! So enjoy your weekend at camp with these special guests!

Resident Camp at Council Camps

Resident Camp sessions are conducted at council camps with sessions running three to 13 days in June and July. Girls register as individuals and may participate in general or specialized programs.

Troop Camping is a troop experience of one or more nights in a camp setting planned and carried out by the girls and trained leaders of a troop/group. Council camps are available for troop camping during the week and on weekends (except during council-sponsored activities or camp closures). Reservations may be made at any time.

Service Unit Camping

This camping experience includes the entire Service Unit and is a great opportunity for new troops and newly trained outdoor leaders to practice their outdoor skills in a supportive environment. Service units may hold their encampments on council-owned property (highly suggested) or non-owned camp sites (see Camping on Non-Council Sites). It is up to the service unit team to schedule the dates and receive approval from their Membership Executive or Service Unit Administrative Chair.

Outdoor Program Patches

A day-long outing is an important step in the outdoor progression for girls. A full day at Camp Covington, Camp Marydale, or Camp Whispering Pines can include: hikes; outdoor cooking; water activities; nature exploration; and evening campfires. At McFadden Cabin, girls enjoy exploring

50

nearby art exhibits, lagoons and ancient oak trees. All sites include: rakes, shovels, buckets, tables, benches, grills, and nearby water.

Several fun outdoor program patches are available for purchase in the Council Shops for girls who utilize the council’s camp properties. See pages 53-55 for patch descriptions and visit www.gsle.org for patch requirements and designs.

What is the refund policy?

Frequently asked camping questions:

If a member of your troop has physical limitations, be sure to describe the needs on the Camp Reservation Request form. Every effort will be made to place your camper in the appropriate council camping facility.

The non-refundable deposit is only refunded when there is no space available. The balance of the camp fee is refundable only if a standby troop uses the site. Requests for refunds must be made in writing to: Attention: VP of Program and Properties, Girl Scouts Louisiana East, 841 S. Clearview Parkway, New Orleans, LA 70121. Full refunds are only given when the council officially cancels camping on that date. Camp is not cancelled due to rain or cold weather.

When do we pay our camp fees?

Would we have to share our unit?

We have a member that has physical limitations.

Are their facilities available?

The $25 non-refundable deposit for troops and $100 nonrefundable deposit for service unit encampments must accompany the Camp Reservation Request form. To use McFadden Cabin an additional $25 key deposit is required when picking up the key from the council headquarters in Jefferson. The balance of the camp fee is due to the council office four weeks prior to the camping event. If the remaining balance is not in the council office four weeks in advance, the troop will forfeit the reservation to a standby troop.

To maximize the use of bed space, more than one troop/ group may be placed in your unit to fill the site to the maximum capacity. If this is the case, you will be notified who you will be sharing the unit with before the camping date. It is highly recommended that troops/groups contact one another prior to the weekend to make program arrangements, schedule cooking times, plan campfires, organize cleaning schedules, etc.

Religious Awards Through Girl Scouting, each girl is encouraged to become a stronger member of her own religious denomination, and every Girl Scout group recognizes that religious instruction is the responsibility of parents and religious leaders. Religious award programs are always developed and administered by religious groups themselves. If provided with a religious pin, the recipient may wear it on her uniform, either on her badge sash below the membership stars or on the right side of her uniform, level with her membership pin.

Work on religious recognitions should be done outside the troop meeting. A special meeting should be called if a large number of girls in the troop want to work on a particular religious award program. Individual girls work with an advisor to complete this award. Religious awards are earned by girls with the guidance of their leader and pastor, priest, rabbi or other spiritual leader.

This provides a wonderful opportunity for personal and spiritual growth.

For more information about the religious awards including contact persons/liaisons with particular denominations, please contact the organizations listed here or the organization, Programs of Religious Activities with Youth (P.R.A.Y.), at 800-933-7729 or www.praypub.org. There are over 50 faiths/ denominations that have developed religious award programs for Girl Scouts.

Trane Energy Efficiency Program Girl Scout Daisies – Ambassadors

This great resource available from Trane directly correlates to the ideas and activities you are exploring in the It’s Your Planet – Love It! Journey. Do you know what consumes energy? And what the greatest contributor to global warming is? Sixty percent of all energy is used in buildings like the school or community building where your Girl Scout troop meets. The energy from lights, windows and heating and air conditioning that you’re currently using is the single greatest contributor to global warming! Your troop can make a difference now! Over the course of six lessons, your troop will learn about energy – what energy really is, how to conserve it, careers and ways to take action. You will be given the opportunity to discover more about energy,

connect with the environment, and take action to preserve precious resources. These lessons are designed to be easyto-use and adaptable to the needs of your group.

Contact: Krista Danos at kdanos@trane.com if you are interested in facilitating the program with your troop. Be sure to let her know the number of girls in your troop and a mailing address.

She will send copies of the student and leader guides – free of charge – and potentially connect you with a Trane employee in your area that is interested in working with you through the lessons, and in particular, the careers and energy audit portion. Special Thanks to Trane for their support of Girl Scouts.

Don’t forget about our wonderful State Parks and Historic Sites or any of our other wildlife and nature resources. These organizations are

happy to assist Girl Scouts with different projects as well as provide troops with community service opportunities or expert presentations.

Each also has their own programs available and locations to explore so visit the nature center at your local state park or participate in one of the exciting programs any of these resources has to offer. These are only a few of the many resources available that wish to be involved with Girl Scouts. See what others you can find!

Training Guide and Schedule Congratulations on making a great decision to become a Girl Scout volunteer. For those of you continuing your involvement with our organization, thank you! Volunteers are the heart of Girl Scouting, and without leaders, Girl Scouts would not be able to help girls develop into tomorrow’s leaders.

What training is required?

If you are:

Take these courses:

The Girl Scouts Louisiana East Board of Directors requires all volunteers with primary responsibility for working with girls be trained for the position they will assume or have assumed.

All new Volunteers who work directly with girls

GSUSA Volunteer Orientation Online

All new Volunteers who work directly with girls

Council Orientation

A new or experienced leader (01) or assistant leader (02)

GS Leadership Essentials

Training is divided into two categories: Basic and Enrichment.

A registered adult taking a troop on an outing

First Aid & Adult/Child CPR (Level I First Aid)

A registered adult taking a troop on an overnight camping trip to a Council property

Troop Camping I • TC I-A in classroom • TC I-B overnight at Council campsite

Basic Training includes a course on the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience with its three keys to leadership (which replace the four program goals).

Enrichment classes go beyond the basics and help enhance the leader’s interaction with the girls.

At Girl Scouts Louisiana East we want to prepare our adult leaders to facilitate learning for the girls the best way possible. We hope to tap into your special talents and abilities to create a wonderful experience for you and the girls.

A list of scheduled training courses is published here as well as online and distributed periodically to all Girl Scout volunteers. The training schedule includes course descriptions, scheduled dates/times, locations, registration deadlines, fees (if any), and prerequisites. Check SafetyWise or Volunteer Essentials for further information about training requirements. Pre-registration is required for all courses, and only currently registered members of Girl Scouts of the USA may participate in training sessions.

Not all courses are listed in this publication – for other trainings including some of the administrative volunteer trainings, please visit the council website’s training section at www.gsle.org.

For additional questions, please contact Matthew Chustz, Adult Development Director, at 225-927-8946, ext. 1224 or mchustz@gsle.org.

www.GSLE.org

Have you completed your volunteer orientation?

Volunteers who work directly with girls must first complete the online orientation provided by Girl Scouts of the USA at http://training.girlscouts.org, password: discover (must be lower case), along with Council Orientation that covers council policies and procedures provided by a Service Unit team member, Membership Executive, or designated person, prior to attending a training course.

Leaders (O1s and O2s), Troop Camping Consultants, Product Sales Consultants and some program volunteers must complete a volunteer application, have a letter of appointment, and complete support training prior to any volunteer job-related training listed here.

How do I register for training?

Prior to registering for a course, please check the Council website for an updated list of trainings. Trainings are subject to change date and time.

Select the course and sign up one of two ways — online using our Online Training Registration System at www. gsle.org (preferred method) or by completing the Training Registration form in the forms section of this publication and returning it along with any payments.

Read the course descriptions to determine what courses you need to take. Check for prerequisites and any other requirements. Be sure to plan ahead for what you might need later in the year. Pre-registration is mandatory because space is limited, trainings are sometimes cancelled, or details change and we will need to contact you.

Girl Scout Leadership Essentials Training The Girl Scout Leadership Experience introduces both new and experienced leaders to our new outcomes-based program and how its activities are designed to develop the girls of today to be the leaders of tomorrow. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience includes the elements of the leadership model which are: activities, processes, shortterm and intermediate outcomes, and long-term outcomes.

The program activities are organized around the Girl Scout three keys to leadership (discover, connect, take action) and are based on the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law. • Discover – the girls explore their values, skills and world.

• Connect – they engage in teaming up and relating with others in a multicultural world.

• Take Action – the girls engage in activities that make a difference in the world.

NO.

The processes of girl led, learning by doing, and cooperative learning are integrated into the activities (what girls do). The processes (how girls do it) create an environment of fun and friendship for girls, determine the quality of the experience, and make Girl Scouting unique, thus further enabling the development of leadership skills.

This training will help leaders work with girls as they progress through any of the Journeys which are the new books now available.

Training objectives by the end of the session participants will be able to: • Explain the meaning of the three keys of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

• Demonstrate how to use resources to support the delivery of the Girl Scout

DATE

Leadership Experience, including the Journeys with accompanying Adult Guides.

• Describe how to facilitate activities so they are girl led, cooperative, and learn-by-doing.

• Convey the value of being purposeful in one’s leadership.

Required for: All new and experienced leaders Prerequisites: 1) Completion of GSUSA Online orientation at http://training.girlscouts.org, password: discover (must be lower case), 2) Council Orientation and signed letter of appointment.

Bring: Volunteer Essentials and Safety-Wise.

Review the following safety precautions before you begin working.)

I, __________________________________, acknowledge and state the following: I have chosen to travel to the worksite to perform cleanup/construction work in disaster relief and rebuilding. I hereby agree to abide by the safety precautions outlined below.

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Each house is equipped with a first aid kit. Ask your site supervisor where it is.

If you have an accident, report it immediately to your site supervisor.

Stay hydrated; if you find yourself with a case of the “umbles” (mumbling, fumbling, grumbling, stumbling, etc.), take a water break!

Make sure to eat your lunch. You need your energy!

Take water breaks, it’s hot out there! (And sometimes it’s cold, too.)

Make sure you are properly trained on the tools you are using. If you are not sure about how to use a tool or have a question, ask your site supervisor.

Always be aware of your surroundings. If you are swinging a tool, know your “blood circle.” That is, if you are swinging a tool, make sure there is no one within hitting distance.

Please clean up after yourself and others. The worksite should always be clear of debris. Additionally, the last 30 minutes of each work day is dedicated clean-up time.

When using utility knives, saws and other sharp objects, cut away from yourself and others.

Remember ladder and bench safety: the ladder or bench should be in a locked position on stable ground. For added protection, have a spotter on the ground next to you!

When lifting heavy objects, use your legs and keep your back straight. Back injuries are common and hard to fix!

Know your limits! If you are not comfortable doing something, talk to your site supervisor! They are happy to assist you or give you a new task.

If there is a medical emergency call 911. Know the address of the house.

Your safety is important to us! Please be careful and aware! And have a great time!

I agree to abide by the safety precautions mentioned in this document. By my signature, for myself, my estate and my heirs, I release, discharge, indemnify and forever hold St. Bernard Project, together with its officers, agents, servants and employees, harmless from any and all causes of action arising from my participation in this project and travel or lodging associated therewith, including any damages which may be caused by their negligence.
