It's a PA Session I Training Day. As I'm writing this the day before, I can't really talk about how great a time we had, or how great the girls were.
But I'm optimistic! The last two trainings have had girls with eager minds accompanied by squirrely bodies. It's been fun!
We're about half way thru the training series, and the feedback from girls and parents has been great. If your girl has interest in the PA program, be sure to look for the training schedule in 2013.
This is yet another opportunity for Cadette Girl Scouts to take advantage of! Partnered with the LIA (Leadership in Action) Cadette aged girls and older can really use their leadership skills to work with younger girls. What great experience! Girl led program means giving these girls the opportunities. We put all the options out there, and let them suss out how they would want to participate.
If you still have leader-led program, you may be short-changing your girls! Sure, it's easier for you, but it's better for them to learn how to do it all. They need the opportunity to grow, to be a leader, to be led by other girls and to work cooperatively with others. It's the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE).
As we say in Leadership Essentials Training, the GSLE won't necessarily create the next President of the United States, but it will help to create a girl who is leader in her own life. She can stand on her own two feet and make good choices for herself. She knows who she is, and what she stands for. Hopefully, with all the great experiences she's had in Scouting, she'll be a leader of others as well.
Yes, a very good thing for this Day of Celebration! The General in Puebla led a defeat against the more powerful and well-armed French army. And won. He found his passion, discovered what needed to be done, connected with the Mexican militia and people to TAKE ACTION and win. Truly, GSLE: leadership in action! Vive!
