PROGRAM AIDE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY	Ages:
As a program aide, you'll work directly with younger girls under the supervision of an adult volunteer or staff member. Being a program aide gives you the opportunity to share your expertise and knowledge of Girl Scouting with others. After you've completed both the core and specialization trainings, you'll receive the program aide pin. After you've given 25 hours of service you may purchase the program aide patch in the Council store. Core Training You'll take core training only once. During the training, you'll gain basic leadership skills, which will enable you to work effectively with younger girls. Your troop leader will provide core training to you within the troop setting. Troop leaders may request a kit by contacting Jessica Gutierrez. When you complete the training, you must return $3/girl, as well as the necessary paperwork to the Girl Scout Center. Specialization Training You must complete core training before taking specialization training. Specialization training gives you an opportunity to specialize in a particular program aide topic. You may take as many specialization trainings as you want to take.
