Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. 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! Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is dedicated to ensuring all girls reach their full potential through providing quality programming that builds girls of courage, confidence, and character. We have imparted fun, imagination, and the joy of anticipation into everything we do. The 2015 Fall Program and Adult Learning Guide is full of activities to empower girls to discover, connect and take action through programming led by experts in their field; inspirational mentors; staff and volunteers. Girl Scouts is, and always has been, the organization best positioned to offer girls the tools needed to be successful leaders. Experience the "I-can-hardlysleep-because-I’m-so-excited-for-the-adventures-instore-for-the-next-day” feeling. Share the Girl Scout message with a friend, coworker, classmate or family member, and tell them how excited we are to build the Leadership and Learning Center at Camp Dellwood, which will be the center of programs and training activities for girls and adults for years to come. Invite them to make a difference in a girl’s life and to get involved by visiting girlscoutsindiana.org and registering for events. Thank you for your time and devotion to Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. Enjoy browsing our 2015 Fall Program Guide. It has never been easier to get girls involved in Girl Scouts! I can’t wait to be the star of my own story, be an explorer on a real-life adventure, be a Girl Scout!
Warmest regards,
Deborah Hearn Smith Chief Executive Officer

Girl Scout Fall Program What can a girl do? Beginning October 1, 2015: • This is a way for troops to earn money while promoting reading, goal setting, financial awareness, and communication skills. Troops earn 10 percent of gross sales to fund troop activities. • Girls can take orders for magazines, delicious nut products and candy. • It’s easy to earn troop funds when girls go online to learn about Internet safety and send emails to friends and family offering them a wide variety of magazines to purchase online. No hassle, no product to handle, nothing to deliver! Troops earn $2 per girl for participation in online program. Emails will also connect customers to the online nut store. • Girls also get a patch from sending 12 emails and this year there is a bonus patch for girls sending 25 emails! • Customers can now purchase nut/candy items to help feed the hungry right here in central Indiana. Donations of $5 will purchase a nut/candy item to be donated to food pantries. • Troops can help support their council. • Girls earn awesome rewards! Contact your service unit manager or the Product Sales Department office at 877.474.2249 to find out when materials will be available in your area!

Outdoor skills
Girl Scout Service Center at Columbus 1300 Hutchins Ave, Columbus
The outdoor experience has always been an important component of the Girl Scout program. Before a girl can experience the benefits of hiking, camping, and more, adult volunteers need to know essential information to have successful, safe outings. Some sessions are offered for leaders to learn alongside their troops so both can gain ever-increasing confidence and skills.
Registrar Registrar training has been divided into three learning sessions: Online Learning Sessions focusing on E Council, a webinar focusing on registrar’s responsibility to the service unit and how to work with both leaders and community troop organizers, and update information based on GSUSA materials.

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 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 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.

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.
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:
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.
• “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 Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting 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.
• “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?
