Greetings!
Girl Scouts exists so girls can reach their full potential. Girls develop the social and emotional competencies and problem-solving skills that are critical to ensuring she thrives and is able to make a difference in the world through quality Girl Scout programming. Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is proud to offer initiatives that include STEM, healthy living, financial literacy and faith exploration to help build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In addition, we remain focused in building the Leadership and Learning Center at Camp Dellwood, a state-of-the-art resource center for adult volunteers; ensuring they receive support and interface with peers to successfully facilitate girl-led activities.
We are reminded by The State of Girls: Unfinished Business, from the Girl Scout Research Institute, that we have more work to do to encourage all girls to discover their values, interests, and skills; connect with others and take action to create sustainable solutions to issues important to them. Indiana ranks 36th out of 50 states on an overall index of well-being that includes measures of girls’ physical health and safety, economic well-being, education, emotional health and extracurricular activities. In Indiana, about 20 percent of school-age girls are living in poverty, about one third are overweight or obese, and roughly one in seven have experienced neighborhood violence. Data is not destiny, and I encourage you to share the Girl Scout message with a friend, a co-worker, a classmate or a family member and make a difference in a girl’s life. I believe that one girl can make a difference and that girls together will change the world. Plan an adventure and discover something new!
Thank you for your time and support of Girl Scouts. Enjoy browsing our 2015 Spring Program and Adult Learning Guide, and visit girlscoutsindiana.org to register for events. Let’s have fun while impacting the lives of girls!
Warmest regards,
Deborah Hearn SmithChief Executive Officer

Every box of cookies is packed with a lifetime supply of learning.Much more than a way to raise money, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is a hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program. Here are a few examples of how participating in the cookie program teaches Girl Scouts skills that will help them grow into leaders in their own lives, leaders in business and leaders in the world:
1. Goal Setting
Your Girl Scout sets cookie sales goals individually and with her team, creates a plan to reach them, and develops cooperation and team building skills all along the way!
2. Decision-Making
Your Girl Scout helps decide how her team will spend their cookie money, furthering her critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help her in many aspects of her life.
3. Money Management
Your Girl Scout takes cookie orders, handles customers’ money and gains valuable and practical life skills around financial literacy.
4. People Skills
Your Girl Scout learns how to talk to, listen to and work with all kinds of people while selling cookies. These experiences help her develop healthy relationship and conflict resolution skills she can use throughout her life.
5. Business Ethics
Your Girl Scout is honest and responsible at every step of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Her business ethics reinforce the positive values she is developing as a Girl Scout.

We strive to offer sessions at convenient locations and where the majority of volunteers drive no more than 30 miles. Learnings can come directly to your service unit if you request them 4 weeks in advance and provide a minimum of 5 volunteers.
Session facilitators
In almost all cases, facilitators are volunteers just like you. They receive no compensation and are giving their time to make Girl Scouts an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for the girls and for you. If you are interested in becoming a council facilitator, contact Meg Booth.
Please visit girlscoutsindiana.org for a complete list of adult learning opportunities and locations.

Core outdoor skills developmentThe outdoor experience has been an integral part of the Girl Scout program. Before a girl can experience the benefits of hiking, camping, and more, adult volunteers need to be prepared and know essential information to have a safe, successful outing. Some sessions are offered for volunteers to learn alongside their troop so both can gain ever-increasing confidence and skills.
Advanced Outdoor SkillsHave you already taken Basic Outdoor Skills? If so, take your camping skills to the next level. Learn how to pitch a tent, care for platform tents and yurts. Discuss how to plan with your girls a primitive two day camping experience. Learn new recipes and ways to cook on an open fire or propane stove. Knot tying and knife safety as well as general outdoor safety.

It was such a great sight to see all those girls proudly wearing their Girl Scout shirts and confidently holding out their arms to offer the runners a drink. It was the motivation I needed to get me through those last couple miles of the race."

Girl Scout Safety Guidelines1. 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 Meg Booth, Director of Volunteer Services, at 317.924.6839 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 parent-daughter 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.

ing Safety Activity Checkpoints
Safety Activity Checkpoints are in-depth safety guidelines that adult volunteers 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 the council program department as some activities are allowed only with written council pre-approval, only for girls 12, and over and some activities are off-limits completely. Safety Activity Checkpoints can be found on our website.girlscoutsindiana.org/volunteers and click "Key Resources and Publications" and then select "Safety Activity Checkpoints."

Tools and tips for writing successful nominationsNomination guidelinesThe nomination should be results oriented, measurable and include real impact stories. GSUSA has designed the guidelines and provided examples on how to write nominations that demonstrate measurable impact. It does not need to be difficult; some simple numbers will do. Some basic questions to ask and answer as nominations are written include How many? What? How? Who? Keep the 3 keys to leadership, Discover, Connect, and Take Action in mind. Here is an example:
• “Brittany has been a leader for several years.” How many years? What kind of leadership qualities does she bring?
• ”She has retained girls in her troop.” How many girls has she retained? “Her troop participates in service unit events.” What events specifically? How many events?
• “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 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?

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.

National Girl Scout Program PortfolioThe National Girl Scout Program Portfolio consists of The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting, the National Leadership Journeys and Skill Building Badge Sets.
The Girl’s Guide to Girl ScoutingGirls 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. All badges are called National Proficiency Badges and are grouped in the categories: Legacy, Financial Literacy, Cookie Business, Skill-Building, and Make Your Own. Daisies continue to earn Petals, as well as four new Leaves.
National Leadership Program through Journeys 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 potiential. Each Journey offers opportunities to enjoy the long-standing traditions of Girl Scouting, from ceremonies and songs to earning awards and related skill badges. So, to guide girls on a great journey, all you need is enthusiasm and a sense of adventure.
Skill Building badge setsThe 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.
PathwaysPathways are the flexible ways girls and adults can participate in Girl Scouting such as troop, camp, events, series, travel, and virtual.

Informal Adult recognition awardsRecognition-do it often and make it meaningful-get creative!Informal recognitions are day-to-day ways to say “thank you” to volunteers. These sincere expressions of appreciation are based on specific contributions and are given in a timely manner. Informal recognition is powerful and effective, because volunteers feel valued by a personal touch.
