Leadership Opportunities

Cit I

The CIT (Counselor in Training) 1 is a program designed to help young adults grow in themselves, learn more about camp and skills to become life-long leaders. To earn this award, you complete a leadership course designed by the council on outdoor experiences and work with younger Girl Scouts over the course of a camp session.

Cit Ii

CIT II campers will have the opportunity not only to experience camp for themselves; but to learn how to create a safe, fun, inclusive experience for others! Built as a continual leadership training from our CIT I program, campers will spend time refreshing their knowledge of camp before spending time shadowing staff in activities, units, camp administration and more.

Volunteer in Training for Teens (VIT)

Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors who are interested in taking their leadership skills to the next level can earn the VIT pin. You can complete the training either through a self-led video series or using a facilitator-led training that can be downloaded from our council website. Whether you are in a troop or a Juliette, you can access this training in the way that works best for you and start your leadership training today!

Do you have an interest in government or current state issues? Do you want to learn more about our state’s capital city? If so, consider applying to serve in the North Carolina House, Senate, or Governor’s Page Program. You will join Girl Scouts from all over North Carolina to learn how our state government really works and participate in the legislative process. Girl Scouts selected to work in the Governor’s Office have the opportunity to meet the Governor and to tour the Governor’s Mansion as well as other local sights. Participants may stay with family or friends, or a host family specially selected by the Page Coordinator’s office. Look for more information on the Older Girl Opportunities page of our website.

Program Aide

A Program Aide (PA) is any Girl Scout Cadette, Senior or Ambassador who has completed the council’s Program Aide Core Training Program and worked with or mentored Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, or Juniors for at least 20 hours OR at least six activity sessions. Program Aides may assist younger troops, help run many council-sponsored events, and work alongside adults to assist younger Girl Scouts in making the most of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. By becoming a Program Aide, Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors develop their leadership skills and can connect with younger Girl Scouts to share their specialized knowledge and make a difference in their lives. Learn more about how to become a Program Aide on our council webpage under Older Girl Opportunities. Be sure to keep a lookout for the Program Aide icon throughout this guide. This icon denotes opportunities for Girl Scouts to complete the 20 required hours.
