Girl Scout Mission

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

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Greetings! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s create a world where all women and girls are appreciated for their talent, strengths and uniqueness. The national Stand Beside Her movement, created by Girl Scouts Heart of the South, is a call to action initiative to mentor, support and develop women and girls to end competition and comparison and create more collaboration and support for one another. This is a national effort that Girl Scouts of Central Indiana proudly supports to change our current culture so every girl and woman can reach her fullest potential. Our adult volunteers and staff serve as role models for girls from all economic, social and ethnic backgrounds. We teach girls leadership skills that will benefit their lives and improve their communities. We know that a volunteer makes a difference in a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and we are fully invested in seeing girls succeed with a new state of the art facility that will train more adult volunteers to serve more girls by being a resource center for professional development, education, collaboration and friendship as well as continuing to provide program and camp services-the Leadership and Learning Center at Camp Dellwood. We know that girls represent the greatest under-utilized talent pool and the greatest hope for the future. Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is dedicated to quality programming for both adults and girls with such initiatives as STEM, healthy living, financial literacy and faith exploration. Through a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in Girl Scout program activities, they develop social and emotional competencies and problem-solving skills. One girl can make a difference and 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 the 2016 Spring Program and Adult Learning Guide, and visit girlscoutsindiana.org to register for events. Let the fun and learning begin! Warmest wishes,

Deborah Hearn Smith Chief Executive Office

Girl Scout Cookie Program

2016

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 customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

In 2015, approximately 7,000 cases, (85,000 packages) of Girl Scout Cookies were delivered to Stout Field and other military locations throughout central Indiana, including 60 National Guard armories, the Marines, the Air Force and the Army. Girl Scout Cookies also went to other organizations including the USO, Indiana Veterans Home, HVAF, Roudebush Medical and many more.

Girls that have earned the Operation: Cookie Drop rewards and are top selling Operation: Cookie Drop girls are chosen to help deliver cookies to the military.

What is a great bank?

Proud to partner with Girl Scouts of Central Indiana to offer cookies purchased by credit card. Now, your favorite

cookies are just a swipe away!

A great bank knows that you are busy and provides you with straightforward products and services that are easy to understand. A great bank knows that you need up to date technology, such as text, mobile, and online banking. And, a great bank cares about the community it serves and wants to make it a better place to live and work. MainSource is a great bank for all these reasons and more. MainSourceBank.com Member FDIC

Girl Scout 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, under "Key Resources." 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 our 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 firstaid 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.

Safety Activity Checkpoints

Journey books

When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints written specifically for that particular activity.

The core program of Girl Scouts, these books are complete with a girl book and adult book. Available at all Showcase locations.

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. 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.

Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to Girl Scouting The Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guides are printed resources for girls at each grade level. There are activities that can be integrated with journeys, information on legacy badges to earn, and skill building badges to earn. Available at Showcase locations.

Blue Book of Basic Documents This book explains the governing policies for Girl Scouts as a national organization and is applied to Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. Found on our website in the Volunteer Resources section.

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 nominations Nomination guidelines

The 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 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?

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) 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.
