Program Aide Training
Program Aide (PA) Training involves learning to work with children and adapting activities for special needs and situations. You’ll be ready to put your new skills to the test by completing hands on activities that will prepare you for real life situations working with younger kids in troops, at day camps, and at council and service unit events. This training is tons of fun and you’ll leave feeling energized and ready to jump into a variety of leadership roles with younger Girl Scouts!
