The program looks something like this.
PA 1 - 1st year PAs (any Girl Scout going in to 7th-12th grade who have not been trained)
VITs (Volunteer in Training) - 5th and 6th year PAs (11th and 12th grades, unless you have never been at camp as a PA)
This is a new program that provides an opportunity for the girls who want to be more involved with the girls at camp. There is a VIT award that can be earned by taking a council training course and completing a certain number of hours working in a volunteer position. All of the specific requirements are available in the senior/ambassador hand books.
As a VIT at day camp, the girls have some options:
1. To be a unit leader or an assistant unit leader. (If you are interested in this, please let me know what age group you are most interested in.
I need to get your information to Tigger as soon as possible, she is placing leaders in the units now.
2. Follow the same path as the Senior PAs.
