Programs for Girls Entering Grades 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th in Fall 2013
Leadership Programs
Girl Scouts of Utah’s leadership programs offer you an opportunity to learn leadership skills that are needed to work with girls in the outdoors, specifically at camp. If you are highly motivated, ready to work and play hard, and are willing to accept a leadership role at camp, this is the program for you. You will explore the areas of camp craft skills, group dynamics, child development, program planning, camp operations, and the role of the camp counselor. The program includes time devoted to learning these skill sets, plus actual experience working with children under the supervision of camp staff. All programs will be based out of Camp Cloud Rim but you will have opportunities to do sections of your training at Trefoil Ranch (transportation to and from Trefoil Ranch will be provided). The CIT programs vary in duration from ten days to four weeks. We prefer that you are able to stay for the entire duration of your program, but are willing to work with you if you have religious or family obligations. Participation in the program does not guarantee employment at GSU camps in the future. The leadership program does have limited space in order to maintain the quality of the program for all of those participating. Registering for a leadership program does not guarantee a spot. For those new to the leadership program, you will be sent an email directing you to an online application form. We will be doing interviews for all C.I.T. programs on Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1 at the Salt Lake City Girl Scout office between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. If you did a Leadership Program last summer, you will not need to re-apply for the program – just register online. LEAP 10-Day Program Ready to start your leap from camper to counselor? This is the perfect place to start! During this ten-day program you’ll form a tight-knit team with your fellow LEAPers as you learn teamwork, conflict resolution, and communication skills. With your team’s support, you’ll learn fundamental skills of leadership, setting goals, making decisions, and solving problems. Did you do LEAP last summer? Don’t worry! It will be a different experience than last summer! Cost: $570/$460/$350 Dates Check In July 22-31 Cloud Rim

Activity Scholarship Guidelines and Procedures Purpose: To provide assistance for individual girl members who are registered Girl Scouts and wish to attend Girl Scouts of Utah-sponsored camps or programs, Girl Scouts of the USA-sponsored programs, or Girl Scout destinations. Philosophy: Activity Scholarship should fill a specific financial need. It is not a reward for being a “good Girl Scout” nor is it a way to repay volunteer work a parent might have done in Girl Scouting. It is a way for Girl Scouts of Utah to help a Girl Scout participate in an experience in which she would otherwise not be able to because of financial restraints. The decision to grant activity scholarship, and the amount, is made on the basis of information given on the application form. All information is kept confidential and discussed only by those responsible for allocating the money.
1. The request must be made on a current application form and must be completed in its entirety.
2. The dollar amount of the scholarship granted is based on availability of funds and apparent need.
3. Scholarship will be granted only to currently registered girl members, not troops.
4. Families are expected to pay a portion of the expense for the program or camp.
6. A ll activity credits must be used for program fees before the activity scholarship will be granted. Activity credits may be used for transportation and published fees only. Additional activity fees and personal items are the responsibility of the participant.
7. T he scholarship may be based on the number of requests from the same family and on the total income composition.
8. The scholarship is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
9. A ctivity scholarship will be granted for only one like program per program year per girl. For example, a girl may apply for scholarship for resident camp and day camp, or resident camp and a program, not resident camp and troop camp in the same summer.
5. P articipants in Girl Scouts of the USA international-, national- and council-sponsored opportunities may receive up to one-fourth of the actual program fees in activity scholarship. Program applications must be received by published program registration deadlines. This applies to individual girls only – not troops.
