Girls want to make a difference in the world.

Wherever girls live, whatever their circumstance, Girl Scouts gives every girl access to life-changing experiences that inspire them to do big things. We believe that one girl can make a difference and that, together, girls can change the world!

Girl Scouts do a lot more than people know. They build homes for the homeless. They spend a week learning to surf and sail. They travel to incredible places like France, England, and India. They advocate for change in their neighborhoods and advocate on behalf of their local communities at their state legislature. They go sea kayaking. They challenge their fears on the Alpine Tower. Most of all, they enjoy nonstop fun.

Look inside this guide for more information about events, trainings, and special opportunities just for teens.

This is a great time to be a Girl Scout with lots of ways to get involved, have fun, explore possibilities, experience adventures, take trips, and reach for the stars!

Financial Assistance

You keep the Girl Scout Promise by living the Girl Scout Law.

Cancellation of Event Policy Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines reserves the right to cancel an event due to insufficient registration, acts of nature, or any other reason beyond its control. Councilsponsored events are held rain or shine, unless inclement weather adversely affects the program. If an event is canceled or rescheduled, registered participants will be notified and refunds processed accordingly.

Refunds In general, our refund policies require that notification be provided at least 15 days prior to an event. To view our refund policies, please visit www.nccoastalpines.org or call 800.284.4475.

Adult Supervision Requirements A minimum of two adults must accompany every troop to a program event unless otherwise stated. Please consult the guidelines in Safety Activity Checkpoints or Volunteer Essentials for exact ratio information. Our primary goal is to provide quality programming for girls; space may not be available for additional adults above the stated ratio.

Financial assistance is available for registered Girl Scouts who would otherwise be unable to attend individual programs, council-sponsored events, and camps. For this assistance, you must register online for the event in the C.O.R.E. (Council Online Registration Entry) system. Requests are due at the time of registration. You will be notified of the status of your registration and financial assistance request via email.

Wider Opportunity Grants This confidential financial assistance is based on personal information establishing the applicant’s need. The basic guideline is up to one-third of the cost of the event fee and transportation. Before an individual’s request can be processed, the event/trip must first be granted Wider Opportunity Status by request of the Troop/group. Status and financial assistance is granted by a committee of volunteer and staff representatives.

Please note that applicants must participate in the Cookie Program for that year and demonstrate a need for assistance.

Applications for Wider Opportunity status and funding are due on the first of every month. It is recommended to submit an application for Wider Opportunity Status three to six months in advance of the trip date. Applications and a listing of committee meeting dates can be found at www.nccoastalpines.org.

SPECIAL DAYS FOR GIRL SCOUTS February 22 – World Thinking Day Each year on February 22, girls participate in activities and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, but is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community.

The Girl Scouts of the USA website has some great ideas for World Thinking Day activities.

March 12 – Girl Scout Birthday On this date in 1912, the first 18 girls gathered to hold their first meeting as Girl Scouts in the United States. You and your Girl Scout friends can celebrate by throwing a party! Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts!

April 22 – Girl Scout Volunteer Day This is a day when you can say thank you to the adult volunteers who help guide you on your Girl Scout adventures. What could you do to show your appreciation?

life skills Fall Sale Program Be Active! Dive In! The Fall Sale Program gives girls and troops the opportunity to sell magazine subscriptions (new and renewals) and very popular nuts and candy in order to earn quick and easy startup money for their troop. This “friends & family sale” is conducted both face-to-face and via the Internet through a secure program.

Returning this Year The Sweet Success Club, a club for Girl Scouts who sell 100 items or more in the Fall Sale Program. In addition, troops can participate in Fall Sale Rallies, Treats for Troops, and our awesome online program.

New this Year Our online store will feature not only magazines, but Ashdon Farm’s full line of nuts and candies. All of these items will be available to order and ship anywhere in the US (shipping and handling may apply for some items).

Girl Scout Daisy and Brownie troops will earn 10 percent of all sales, as well as cool patches and cumulative recognitions.

Girl Scout Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops can choose the 10 percent proceeds plan with patches and recognitions, or can opt to receive 15 percent in proceeds and patches, in lieu of recognitions.

Cookie Sale Program What Can a Girl Do? Lead the Change!

The 2015 Cookie Sale Program theme is What Can a Girl Do? Lead the Change! Girls learn many life skills and earn proceeds for their troop by participating in the cookie sale.

All Girl Scout troops earn proceeds for participating in the Cookie Sale Program, which can be used to carry out the troop plans. Troops that sell an average of 180 boxes or more per girl are also eligible for a bonus on top of the proceeds they earn, providing they meet all other stated criteria. In 2014, the average troop earned more than $1,300 in proceeds.

Participating girls are also eligible to earn Superstar Destinations. This awesome program continues to be wildly popular. In 2014, more than 1,300 girls qualified for Superstar Destinations. Girls who qualify can earn free admission tickets to places like Carowinds, Busch Gardens, Great Wolf Lodge, movie theaters, skating centers, and bowling centers. Girls can also earn Cookie Dough—which can be used to pay for Girl Scout camp, purchases in the council shops, councilsponsored events, and national and international GSUSA destinations.

Visit our website for up to date Cookie Sale Program information.

summer camping opportunities Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines offers various types of organized camping opportunities: day camp, summer resident camp, and troop camp. The 2015 Summer Fun Guide, with information on summer camp programs will be sent to all registered Girl Scouts. The guide will also be available on our website by January, 2015.

Summer Resident Camp

Day Camp

Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines has three beautiful resident camps, which offer a wide variety of programs:

Day camp offers all girls an exciting and eventful week, full of fun in a structured and supervised setting. Our day camps provide an entertaining and enlightening experience for girls to explore, try new things, and meet new friends in a positive all-girl environment. If you are interested in having your daughter or girls in your troop attend day camp during the 2015 summer season, please log onto our website to find a day camp near you.

Troop Camp Spend time exploring one of our lovely resident camps with your friends while participating in swimming, archery, canoeing, and much more! Weeklong and mini sessions are designed for a group of girls and adults to attend resident camp as a unit. Stay for a weeklong session, arriving Sunday afternoon and leaving Friday afternoon.

For a mini-session, spend three days at camp having a great time. Meals are prepared in the dining hall. A troop/group must have at least 6 girl participants to be eligible to register for troop camp.

At resident camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to experience swimming, outdoor cooking, crafts, hiking, campfires, songs, games, and making new friends. Girls may also choose to learn to use a compass, canoe, sleep under the stars, try a new dance, or tie-dye a T-shirt.

Depending on the program, girls sleep in cabins or tents.

Camp Graham is located on Kerr Lake in Vance County and offers swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, sports, archery, offsite horseback riding, crafts, and—new this year—treehouses! Group camp for troops/groups is designed for girls and adults to attend camp as a unit, while resident camp offers a more independent camping atmosphere for individual girls.

Camp Hardee is just southeast of Washington on the south side of the Pamlico River and consists of 95 acres with river frontage, woodlands, and open space. Individual campers enjoy archery, crafts, swimming in the pool, canoeing, sailing, and kayaking, among other favorite camp activities.

Camp Mary Atkinson is in the heart of Johnston County and offers outdoor-living skills, the challenge-bychoice Alpine Tower, canoeing, swimming in our zeroentry pool, horseback riding, archery, sports, drama, and crafts for individual girls. Campers also enjoy the 16,000-square-foot Leadership Center with a state-of-theart technology lab.

Girl Scouting’s Highest Awards The Golden Eagle of Merit, the highest award in Girl Scouting from 1916 to 1919, marked the beginning of a long tradition of using prestigious awards to recognize girls who make a difference in their communities and in their own lives.

In 1980, Girl Scouts introduced the Girl Scout Gold Award (for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors) as its highest honor, along with the Girl Scout Silver Award (Girl Scout Cadettes).

Today these two awards are the highest of the Girl Scout experience.

Girl Scout Silver Award Going for the Girl Scout Silver Award gives a Girl Scout Cadette the chance to show that she is a leader who is organized, determined, and dedicated to improving her community. Earning the award puts girls among an exceptional group who have used their knowledge and leadership skills to make a difference in the world.

Step one to earn your Girl Scout Silver Award is to go on a Girl Scout Cadette Journey. Once you complete your Journey, the suggested minimum time for earning your 28

Girl Scout Silver Award is 50 hours. You can start by planning the time in parts, dividing it up by the steps. As a Girl Scout, you are committed to doing your very best with each step, but how much time per step is different for every Girl Scout.

So the hours aren’t a rule. Remember, too, that the hours include the fun and challenges you’ll share with your Silver Award team. Each step you take toward making a difference in the world around you gives you a great chance to learn and grow, and that will make your award project an amazing one!

Girl Scout Gold Award The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors can earn. A girl earning the Girl Scout Gold Award will be joining the ranks of generations of young women who have made a difference in their communities both locally and globally. The Girl Scout Gold Award follows the Standards of Excellence and challenges you to develop yourself as a leader, achieve the Girl Scout Leadership Outcomes, and make a mark on your community that creates a lasting impact on the lives of others.

Fulfilling the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award starts with the completion of two Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journeys, or having earned the Silver Award and completing one Senior or Ambassador Journey. Each Journey you complete gives you the skills you need to plan and implement your Take Action project.

After you have fulfilled the Journey(s) requirement, 80 hours is the suggested minimum hours for the steps: identifying an issue, investigating it thoroughly, getting help and building a team, creating a plan, presenting your plan, gathering feedback, taking action, and educating and inspiring others.

The suggested minimum hours are not a rule; they are a guide for you to plan your time in achieving your goal.

Scholarships and Awards Jane S. Barringer Award Girl Scout Gold Award recipients are eligible to apply for the Jane S. Barringer Award. This award is a cash scholarship established to honor Mrs. Barringer, an outstanding teen advisor. A group of her former Girl Scouts, along with Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines, has instituted an award in her name to be given to an individual who embodies the principles and spirit “Mrs. B” works to instill.

Mrs. Barringer was recently recognized for 50 years of membership in Girl Scouting.

Misty Crabtree Eastham Memorial Scholarship The Misty Crabtree Eastham Endowment was established to honor the memory of lifelong Girl Scout Misty Crabtree Eastham, and provides scholarships for Gold Award recipients to help defray college expenses. As a girl in foster care who earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, Misty felt that Girl Scouting had a tremendous impact on her life and provided opportunities that she may never have had a chance to pursue. This scholarship embodies Misty’s sense of selflessness, generosity, drive and determination.

For more information about these and other councilsponsored scholarships, please visit the council website.

Religious Recognitions for Girls The religious award programs provide opportunities for girls to reinforce the values they have learned in Girl Scouting, fulfill their promise “to serve God” and explore their own faith. Different faith communities have developed programs for Girl Scouts, which they administer themselves. Girls can also earn the national Girl Scout religious recognition. The “My Promise, My Faith” pin (for details, see Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting binder) allows you the opportunity to explore your own faith within the context of the Girl Scout Law. All of the awards are recognized as official insignia and, as such, may be worn on the Girl Scout uniform.

For More Information: • Come to a religious awards workshop (open to girls, troop leaders, and parents) which are held throughout the year.

• Go to the P.R.A.Y. organization’s website to learn current options available for each denomination/faith at www.praypub.org • Contact the program director at 800.284.4475.
