Building leaders of tomorrow, today.

Make way for the next generation of leaders.

We are building the Leadership and Learning Center at Camp Dellwood. Here, our volunteers will continue to receive the professional development and training required to make them feel confident and prepared to lead. There will also be resources and technology available to equip them to guide and mentor girls.

Utilize state-of-theart technology at one of our three learning labs designed to prepare volunteers to lead girls.

Learn with other volunteers in a space designed for collaboration.

Roll right up, and pick up Girl Scout Cookies with ease at our centrally located Girl Scout Cookie distribution center.

Shop the new Showcase. Get essentials, accessories, books and clothing in preparation for your next adventure!

We are moving!

Beginning September 6, we will be located at: 7201 Girl Scout Lane • Indianapolis, IN 46214

S! G N I T E E R G Make this Girl Scout year your best yet! This fall and coming winter promises to be full of fun Girl Scout activities. Learn a new skill, try a new activity and make new friends by participating in the activities in our 2016 Fall Program Activity and Adult Learning Guide. The many different program activities available offer unique and interesting opportunities designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, explore interests, learn new skills in a safe, all-girl environment and most importantly, have fun!

With the support of volunteers from across central Indiana, we are able to provide these experiences to girls.

LADDEr of LEADErShip As Girl Scouts take journeys and earn the awards, they’re climbing a ladder that lets them be leaders in their own lives and in the world! Pass it on!

Ambassadors raise their voices to advocate for issues they care about.

Girls move dreams forward!

Girls use sisterhood to better themselves and the world!

Seniors have a vision and lead the world closer to it.

Cadettes develop the relationship skills they need to be leaders in their lives and in the world.

Juniors learn that leaders need power—their own, their team’s, and their community’s.

Brownies go on a quest to find the three keys to leadership.

Ambassadors learn that leaders aim for justice.

Girls put the ME in media.

Cadettes become leaders in clearing the air!

Girls try on roles and realize their opportunities in life are limitless.

Juniors bring energy solutions to their lives and the world.

Designers, if you show these separately, I guess you have to add the brown outline around the center one two. But if you show them assembled, and as it will actually appear when award patch is put together, the central patch has a blue border that matches the background. I’ve thinned the border a bit from what will appear on the patch--due to their sewing constraints.

Brownies take the lead in saving Earth’s water.

Girls explore their place in the wide world of girls.

Girls learn they can care for animals and themselves.

Daisies learn that leadership blossoms in the garden.

Seniors find out how their leadership can benefit Earth.

Program activity descriptions

How to use this guide Through Girl Scouting, you can do anything! The activities in this guide are designed to help you try new things.

Use theses tips and tricks to help you and your troop plan for a year of fun and adventure.

1

Look through the guide on your own, selecting program activities that interest you.

You don’t have to attend all program events with your troop. Many of the events are perfect for you to attend on their own. Highlight, or sticky note programs you are interested in, and share these opportunities with your parents or caregivers.

2

Use the calendar on pages 19-25 to create your plan for the year on your own and with your troop.

You can also find out more about special Girl Scout dates, program ideas and receive additional support by following us on social media.

3

Discuss which Girl Scout Journeys and badges you and your troop would like to earn.

If you are a Girl Scout in grade 5 or above, you may want to create a longer term plan to help you earn higher awards. Use the Ladder of Leadership on page 5, along with your Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting to help you make decisions.

4

Look for program activities that compliment your troop's plan.

If you see a badge icon-like this one-in an activity description-this means that you will earn a badge in this activity. If you don’t see one, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make a connection yourself.

5

Create a budget for the year that matches your troop's plan.

Check out page 11 for more information on the Fall Product Sale. Were you a #cookieboss in the Girl Scout Cookie Program? These sales are a great way to earn money to pay for all that you do in Girl Scouting.

6

Register for fun program activities!

For council-sponsored events, check out page 13 for registration procedures. For community sponsored events, see the event description for details. Register quickly to reserve your spot!

7

Attend the activities you and your troop register for and debrief.

As a troop or on your own, reflect on your experience and use that to make decisions about future events. Share your photos on social media from your experience with us-we love to see you and your troop participating in fun adventures!

Join the conversation! @girlscoutsin

Activities registration procedures Registration closes 2 weeks prior to each event or when the event is full, unless otherwise noted for all council sponsored activities.

Each troop is responsible for providing enough adults to meet Safety-Wise ratios. Girls registering individually should be accompanied by an adult. Only registered Girl Scouts may participate in council activities unless otherwise specified in the program description. At times, the number of adults able to attend will be limited to the Girl Scout Safety-Wise adult-to-girl ratio. Due to limited space, non-Girl Scout siblings/friends (tag-alongs) are not permitted unless specified by program description.

Register online Visit girlscoutsindiana.org to find the program.

• Make sure all names and addresses are entered correctly.

• Once your registration has been submitted, you will see a pop-up window that tells you your registration has been successfully completed. This means that your registration has been submitted; it does not mean you are automatically accepted for the event.

Program activities by level

program activities What Daisies Do • Grades: K-1 Don’t we all wish we could look at the world through a Girl Scout Daisy’s eyes?

Everything they do—from planting a garden to putting on a skit to proudly adding that first petal to their vest—sparkles with that "first time ever" newness! Along the way, they’ll use their Daisy exuberance to help others—and they’ll never forget how that feels. Every Daisy meeting is an adventure filled with giggles, energy and excitement.

Program activities by level

program activities What Juniors Do • Grades: 4-5 Want to meet a real-life superhero? Just talk to a Girl Scout Junior who wakes up every day ready to play a new role. They are explorers when they go camping for the first time. They're CEOs when they market and sell cookies. They're scientists when they do energy audits and go on nature walks. And they're product designers and writers when they earn their Innovation and Storytelling badges. Not to mention change makers, big-idea thinkers, and future leaders. Superhero, indeed!

They blaze new trails in the wilderness, write and direct their own movies, take the stage for public speaking, make delicious meals from around the world, and pick up tools to do some woodworking. Their curiosity and imagination lead the way as they try all kinds of new experiences.

What Ambassadors Do Grades: 11-12

Girl Scout Seniors are ready to take the world by storm— and Girl Scouts will give them millions of ways to do it. Whether it’s enhancing school-based activities or helping girls make the most of community involvement, the opportunities open to Girl Scout Seniors are virtually unlimited! They are eager to spread their wings—and Girl Scouts helps them take flight.

With a wider world comes even more opportunities— and Girl Scout Ambassadors make the most of every chance they get to improve themselve and their world. But whatever path she chooses, they take action to make a lasting positive impact on their school, their community, their world—and themselves. Their future is bright—and Girl Scout Ambassadors are ready to shine!

Free Being Me addresses this issue directly, helping you to support your group to become more body confident, and not let concerns about your appearance hold you back from becoming active, responsible and confident citizens of the world. · Register: free-being-me.com Note: Free Being Me patches are available when you have completed the Free Being Me activities and a Take Action project.

What’s So Special About the “Outdoors” Spending time outdoors in nature is different from playing or learning inside. Here’s how ...

Outdoor spaces support active play.

Unlike most indoor environments, the outdoors offers open space where you can be messy, make noise and be active.

Spending time in nature (even just a walk in a park or around your neighborhood) helps you to focus and think creatively.

Outdoor experiences in new places allow you to make your own discoveries. With your troop, you are able to work together to solve problems toogether!

Why do you like to be get outdoors?

The Little Mermaid

Grades: 6, 7, 8

Office Code: 2050

Have you ever heard the phrase “Can’t see the forest for the trees?” Well, come take a walk through the forest and get to know the trees that live there. Make a tree craft, have a friendly debate and get hands-on by removing some invasive Asian Bush Honeysuckle.

"Deep down in the depths of the ocean, there once lived a Little Mermaid…" So begins Hans Christian Anderson's classic story of The Little Mermaid. This whimsical retelling of the original 1837 fairytale features an adventurous mermaid named Melody, who wants to emerge from the safety of the deep sea and explore what's beyond the ocean surface: the human world.

But King Poseidon forbids his daughter from leaving her underwater home to be with dangerous humans.

When Melody slips away from her own birthday party to see for herself, she winds up rescuing a drowning prince and falling in love with him. Desperate to become human, she bargains with Seaweed, the evil sea witch, to make her dream come true-at the cost of her beautiful voice. Along with her friends Bobell, the frog, and Turtell, the turtle, Melody sets out to find her land legs and true love!

To participate and receive credit for this online session, visit the online learning section at girlscoutsindiana.org under volunteers.

Safety and Girl Scouts Every adult in Girl Scouting is responsible for the physical and emotional safety of girls.

This is demonstrated by following the 12 Girl Scout Safety Guidelines on the next page at all times and by following the Girl Scout Safety Activity Checkpoints guidelines when engaging in activities with girls. These resources can be found on our website.

Safety Activity Checkpoints Safety Activity Checkpoints are in-depth safety guidelines for you to use for Girl Scout activities, ranging from canoeing to surfing to selling cookies.

Girls can also use these checkpoints to ready their group for a girl-led activity. When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints written specifically for that particular activity. Each Safety Activity Checkpoint offers information such as where to do the activity, how to include girls with disabilities, where to find basic and specialized gear required for the activity, how to prepare yourselves in advance, and what specific steps to follow on the day of the activity. If Safety Activity Checkpoints do not exist for an activity, check with our program department, as some activities are allowed only with written council pre-approval, only for girls ages 12 and over, and some activities are off-limits completely. Safety Activity Checkpoints can be found at girlscoutsindiana.org.

Why do you volunteer?

"I love the look of surprise, joy, and pride when a girl does something for the first time. I love watching 'my' girls grow into courageous and confident teenagers. I strive to pass on my love of the outdoors, so one day these girls will be adults who care about the environment and continue to make the world a better place."

- Deb Marks Thomas, Volunteer Join the conversation! @girlscoutsin girlscoutsindiana.org/volunteers

Adult learning

Safety guidelines 1. Follow the Safety Activity Checkpoints. Instructions for staying safe while participating in activities are detailed in the Safety Activity Checkpoints. Read the checkpoints, follow them, and share them with other volunteers, parents, and girls (as grade-level appropriate) before engaging in activities with girls. These are found at girlscoutsindiana.org in the volunteer section of our website.

2. Arrange for proper adult supervision of girls. Your group must have at least two unrelated, approved adult volunteers present at all times, plus additional adult volunteers as necessary, depending on the size of the group and the ages and abilities of girls. Adult volunteers must be at least 18 years old and must be screened by the council before volunteering. One lead volunteer in every group must be female.

3. Get parent/guardian permission. When an activity takes place that is outside the normal time and place, advise each parent/guardian of the details of the activity and obtain permission for girls to participate.

4. Report abuse. Sexual advances, improper touching, and sexual activity of any kind with girl members are forbidden. Physical, verbal, and emotional abuse of girls is also forbidden. Report any suspected abuse or neglect to the Indiana Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 800.800.5556, and contact Diana Keely, Director of Programs, at 317.924.6856 to alert the council that you have made the call. Under Indiana law, each citizen of Indiana is considered a “mandated reporter” and State law requires the Department of Child Services to protect the identity of the reporter.

5. Be prepared for emergencies. Work with girls and other adults to establish and practice procedures for emergencies related to weather, fire, lost girls/adults, and site security. Always keep handy a well-stocked first-aid kit, girl health histories, and contact information for girls’ families.

6. Travel safely. When transporting girls to planned Girl Scout field trips and other activities that are outside the normal time and place, every driver must be an approved adult volunteer and have a good driving record, a valid license, and a registered/insured vehicle. Insist that everyone is in a legal seat and wears her seat belt at all times, and adhere to state laws regarding booster seats and requirements for children in rear seats.

7. Ensure safe overnight outings. Prepare girls to be away from home by involving them in planning, so they know what to expect. Avoid having men sleep in the same space as girls and women. During family or parentdaughter overnights, one family unit may sleep in the same sleeping quarters in program areas. When parents are staffing events, daughters should remain in quarters with other girls rather than in staff areas.

8. Role-model the right behavior. Never use illegal drugs. Don’t consume alcohol, smoke, or use foul language in the presence of girls. Do not carry ammunition or firearms in the presence of girls unless given special permission by Girl Scouts of Central Indiana council for group marksmanship activities.

9. Create an emotionally safe space. Adults are responsible for making Girl Scouting a place where girls are as safe emotionally as they are physically. Protect the emotional safety of girls by creating a team agreement and coaching girls to honor it. Agreements typically encourage behaviors like respecting a diversity of feelings and opinions; resolving conflicts constructively; and avoiding physical and verbal bullying, clique behavior, and discrimination.

10. Ensure that no girl is treated differently. Girl Scouts welcome all members, regardless of race, ethnicity, background, disability, family structure, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic status. When scheduling, helping plan, and carrying out activities, carefully consider the needs of all girls involved, including school schedules, family needs, financial constraints, religious holidays, and the accessibility of appropriate transportation and meeting places.

11. Promote online safety. Instruct girls never to put their full names or contact information online, engage in virtual conversation with strangers, or arrange in-person meetings with online contacts. On group websites, publish girls’ first names only and never divulge their contact information. Teach girls the Girl Scout Online Safety Pledge (at www.girlscouts.org/help/Internet_safety_pledge.asp) and have them commit to it.

12. Keep girls safe during money-earning. Girl Scout cookies and other council-sponsored product sales are an integral part of the program. During Girl Scout Product Programs, you are responsible for the safety of girls, money, and products. In addition, a wide variety of organizations, causes, and fundraisers may appeal to Girl Scouts to be their labor force. When representing Girl Scouts, girls cannot participate in money-earning activities that represent partisan politics or that are not Girl Scout–approved product sales and efforts.

from their service? What skills have they developed? What have they learned?

• “She ensures that the girls in her troop have a balanced experience in Girl Scouting.” What makes it balanced? What kind of experiences?

What new skills have the girls learned?

Helpful definitions Mission Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Vision Girl Scouts strives to be the premier leadership organization for girls and experts on their growth and development.

Goals Each local council sets their own goals based on national goals, initiatives, and direction.

Each service unit within Girl Scouts of Central Indiana has annual membership girl recruitment goals which are communicated to the service unit manager and/or service team through the membership development manager assigned to the service unit. In addition, the service unit manager and/or service team is responsible for setting other additional goals, for example, planning a specific number of events and activities to recruit a specific number of girls. The membership development manager and/or service unit manager can help you find out the goals.

Mission delivery Thriving mission delivery grows and sustains membership through volunteer delivery of the GSLE using the national portfolio.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE)

• "She has retained girls in her troop.”

How many girls has she retained?

The three keys to leadership: girls discover themselves and their values; connect with others; and take action to make the world a better place.

At Girl Scouts, everything centers around the girl: activities are girl-led, which gives girls the opportunity to learn by doing in a cooperative learning environment.

• “Her troop participates in service unit events.”

What events specifically? How many events?

The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting

Here are some examples: • “Brittany has been a leader for several years.”

How many years? What kind of leadership qualities does she bring?

• “The troop has done many community service projects.” How many projects? What are they?

Who have they served? Who benefitted? What need have they met?

• “The girls in the troop have benefited from their community service.” How have girls benefited

Girls at every grade-level have a Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting. Through fun activities, girls can earn a variety of badges to build the skills and gain the confidence they’ll use to change the world. They can even develop and complete activities to make their own badge.

National Leadership Program through Journeys

Need some support writing nominations?

At the core of the GSLE are national leadership Journeys, fun and challenging experiences grouped around a theme and spread over a series of sessions. Each Journey has all the important components of the GSLE sewn right in. Journeys ensure that every Girl Scout receives a consistent, high-quality experience that engages girls in realizing leadership potential.

We want to ensure the success your adult recognition nomination. If you need help or have questions contact:

Skill Building badge sets The Skill-Building Badge Activity Sets offer girls the opportunity to earn additional badges throughout their Leadership Journeys. Activities are designed to turn the experiences and inspiration of the Journeys into tangible skills that girls can use throughout their lives.

Pathways Pathways are the flexible ways girls and adults can participate in Girl Scouting such as troop, camp, events, series, travel, and virtual.

Why do you volunteer?

President’s Volunteer Service Award

"Girls Scouts gave the girls in my troop the opportunity to try new things in a safe environment. Even though some of the girls may have been a little afraid the first time we slept in a tent or went horseback riding, they worked through those fears, and they were so proud of themselves for completing something they thought they might not be able to do.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award is part of the Points of Light and is a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. As an affiliate of GSUSA your local troop or service unit can register to be a Certifying Organization. Go to presidentialserviceawards.gov to learn more about these awards and how to become a Certifying Organization. Use GSU003 as your ID when registering.
