Summary:
- As a Service
Unit, our goal is to provide support and additional training to
Girl Scout leaders as they bring the Girl Scout program to the
girls in their troops. To further enhance this effort, we have
established an Awards Advisory Committee to aid our leaders in the
Junior, Cadette, Senior and 2B programs as they earn the highest
awards at these levels: the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.
- The purpose of
the committee is to offer guidance and assistance as leaders navigate
their way through understanding requirements, implementing them,
and working with each girl as she selects her project and work
to complete the requirements of the award, including the
delivery and reporting of the final award project.
- While these award must
be entirely GIRL DRIVEN, it is the responsibility of each troop
leader to work with the girls to guide them as they work through
the process. The girls must first have the desire to earn the
award, and then be willing to follow the program through the
various steps.
- The Advisory
Committee is
now in place to provide an additional resource to our leaders,
and to lend direction on keeping the program as intended and
designed. The award should be a valuable learning and growing
experience for the girls, a step above the comfort zone, and
meaningful if the girls follow the program properly.
Target:
-
The Advisory Committee is comprised of three experienced Service
Unit Team Member Leaders who have volunteered to provide leaders
a resource while steering the girls in the right direction as
they are earning the awards. There are resources and
recommendations given by GSUSA, Age Level handbooks, as well as
Citrus Council to consider and follow. The Advisory Committee will be able to
assist you with interpretation and coordination of all
information available for your award.
-
Our goal is
to provide each leader with a network of other leaders within
the Service Unit who are working on awards at the same time to
enable you to share ideas and information. We would also like to
provide a network of leaders who have previously guided girls as
they earned the awards to provide even more knowledge and
experience for you to share in.
Proposal:
-
The Advisory Committee would like to gain an understanding of the
interest and experience we have at this point in the Service
Unit. Please complete the
Leader Survey
to assist us in establishing our network, as well as finding the
areas that we need to place our focus to assist your as your
guide your girls on their journey!
