Building leaders of tomorrow, today.
Make way for the next generation of leaders.
We are building the Leadership and Learning Center at Camp Dellwood. Here, our volunteers will continue to receive the professional development and training required to make them feel confident and prepared to lead. There will also be resources and technology available to equip them to guide and mentor girls.
Shop the new Showcase. Get essentials, accessories, books and clothing in preparation for your next adventure!
Learn with other volunteers in a space designed for collaboration.
Roll right up, and pick up Girl Scout Cookies with ease at our centrally located Girl Scout Cookie distribution center.
Utilize state-of-the-art technology at one of our three learning labs designed to prepare volunteers to lead girls.
Beginning September 6, we will be located at: 7201 Girl Scout Lane • Indianapolis, IN 46214
We are moving!

Make this Girl Scout year your best yet! This fall and coming winter promises to be full of fun Girl Scout activities. Learn a new skill, try a new activity and make new friends by participating in the activities in our 2016 Fall Program Activity and Adult Learning Guide. The many different program activities available offer unique and interesting opportunities designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, explore interests, learn new skills in a safe, all-girl environment and most importantly, have fun!
With the support of volunteers from across central Indiana, we are able to provide these experiences to girls. We are grateful to have nearly 16,000 role models who are dedicated to showing girls they're capable of more than they ever imagined, making Girl Scouts the premier experience for today’s girls. Thank you for working together with us to change the world of tomorrow by empowering girls today!

Brownies go on a quest to find the three keys to leadership.
Girls explore their place in
the wide world of girls.
Juniors learn that leaders need power—their own,
their team’s, and their community’s.
Girls put the ME
in media.
Ambassadors raise their voices
to advocate for issues they care about.
Juniors bring energy
solutions to their lives and the world.
Girls try on roles and
realize their opportunities
in life are limitless.
Cadettes become leaders
in clearing the air!
Girls use sisterhood
to better themselves
and the world!
Ambassadors learn that leaders aim for justice.
Girls move dreams
forward!
Daisies learn to protect Earth’s treasures.
Brownies take the lead
in saving Earth’s water.

Designers, if you show these sepa-rately, I guess you have to add the brown outline around the center one two. But if you show them assembled, and as it will actually appear when award patch is put together, the central patch has a blue border that matches the background. I’ve thinned the border a bit from what will appear on the patch--due to their sewing constraints.
Girls learn they can care for animals and themselves.
Daisies learn that leadership blossoms in the garden.
Seniors find out how their leadership can benefit Earth.
As Girl Scouts take journeys and earn the awards, they’re climbing a ladder that lets them be leaders
in their own lives and in the world! Pass it on!
LADDEr of LEADErShip
Cadettes develop the relationship skills
they need to be leaders in their lives
and in the world.
Seniors have a vision
and lead the world closer to it.

s How to use this guide
Look through the guide on your own, selecting program activities that interest you.
Use the calendar on pages 19-25 to create your plan for the year on your own and with your troop.
Look for program activities that compliment your troop's plan.
Create a budget for the year that matches your troop's plan.
Register for fun program activities!
Attend the activities you and your troop register for and debrief.
You don’t have to attend all program events with your troop. Many of the events are perfect for you to attend on their own. Highlight, or sticky note programs you are interested in, and share these opportunities with your parents or caregivers.
You can also find out more about special Girl Scout dates, program ideas and receive additional support by following us on social media.
If you are a Girl Scout in grade 5 or above, you may want to create a longer term plan to help you earn higher awards. Use the Ladder of Leadership on page 5, along with your Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting to help you make decisions.
If you see a badge icon-like this one-in an activity description-this means that you will earn a badge in this activity. If you don’t see one, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make a connection yourself.
Check out page 11 for more information on the Fall Product Sale. Were you a #cookieboss in the Girl Scout Cookie Program? These sales are a great way to earn money to pay for all that you do in Girl Scouting.
For council-sponsored events, check out page 13 for registration procedures. For community sponsored events, see the event description for details. Register quickly to reserve your spot!
As a troop or on your own, reflect on your experience and use that to make decisions about future events. Share your photos on social media from your experience with us-we love to see you and your troop participating in fun adventures!

At times, the number of adults able to attend will be limited to the Girl Scout Safety-Wise adult-to-girl ratio.

What Daisies Do • Grades: K-1Don’t we all wish we could look at the world through a Girl Scout Daisy’s eyes? Everything they do—from planting a garden to putting on a skit to proudly adding that first petal to their vest—sparkles with that "first time ever" newness! Along the way, they’ll use their Daisy exuberance to help others—and they’ll never forget how that feels. Every Daisy meeting is an adventure filled with giggles, energy and excitement.

What Brownies Do • Grades: 2-3Girl Scout Brownies are ready to take on the world! They want to learn new things and show off what they know. They want to explore the world and meet new people. They get to do all these things and more in Girl Scouts: take that first hike in the great outdoors, visit a science museum, band together as a mighty Brownie team to sell cookies—and use some of the money to help others. Life is good when you’re a Brownie!

What Juniors Do • Grades: 4-5Want to meet a real-life superhero? Just talk to a Girl Scout Junior who wakes up every day ready to play a new role. They are explorers when they go camping for the first time. They're CEOs when they market and sell cookies. They're scientists when they do energy audits and go on nature walks. And they're product designers and writers when they earn their Innovation and Storytelling badges. Not to mention change makers, big-idea thinkers, and future leaders. Superhero, indeed!

What Cadettes Do • Grades: 6-8Making true-blue friends, saving the planet, standing up against stereotypes, using their team power for the greater good—that’s what being a Girl Scout Cadette is all about. They blaze new trails in the wilderness, write and direct their own movies, take the stage for public speaking, make delicious meals from around the world, and pick up tools to do some woodworking. Their curiosity and imagination lead the way as they try all kinds of new experiences.

Their future is bright—and Girl Scout Ambassadors are ready to shine!

Free Being Me
Grades: All
Strong body confidence is an important step towards building self-esteem, empowering the leaders of tomorrow. But, all over the world, girls list the way they look as a top concern and feel pressure to fit in with society’s image of beauty shown in the media and idealized by their peers.
Free Being Me addresses this issue directly, helping you to support your group to become more body confident, and not let concerns about your appearance hold you back from becoming active, responsible and confident citizens of the world. ·
Register: free-being-me.com
Note: Free Being Me patches are available when you have completed the Free Being Me activities and a Take Action project. Patches are complimentary and available at your local Girl Scout Showcase (while supplies last).

What’s So Special About the “Outdoors”Spending time outdoors in nature is different from playing or learning inside. Here’s how ...
Outdoor spaces support active play. Unlike most indoor environments, the outdoors offers open space where you can be messy, make noise and be active.
Spending time in nature (even just a walk in a park or around your neighborhood) helps you to focus and think creatively.
Outdoor experiences in new places allow you to make your own discoveries. With your troop, you are able to work together to solve problems toogether!
Why do you like to be get outdoors?

Desperate to become human, she bargains with Seaweed, the evil sea witch, to make her dream come true-at the cost of her beautiful voice. Along with her friends Bobell, the frog, and Turtell, the turtle, Melody sets out to find her land legs and true love!

Outdoor skills The outdoor experience has always been an important component of the Girl Scout program. Before a girl can experience the benefits of hiking, camping, and more, adult volunteers need to know essential information

Safety and Girl ScoutsEvery adult in Girl Scouting is responsible for the physical and emotional safety of girls. This is demonstrated by following the 12 Girl Scout Safety Guidelines on the next page at all times and by following the Girl Scout Safety Activity Checkpoints guidelines when engaging in activities with girls. These resources can be found on our website.
Safety Activity Checkpoints
Safety Activity Checkpoints are in-depth safety guidelines for you to use for Girl Scout activities, ranging from canoeing to surfing to selling cookies. Girls can also use these checkpoints to ready their group for a girl-led activity. When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints written specifically for that particular activity. Each Safety Activity Checkpoint offers information such as where to do the activity, how to include girls with disabilities, where to find basic and specialized gear required for the activity, how to prepare yourselves in advance, and what specific steps to follow on the day of the activity. If Safety Activity Checkpoints do not exist for an activity, check with our program department, as some activities are allowed only with written council pre-approval, only for girls ages 12 and over, and some activities are off-limits completely. Safety Activity Checkpoints can be found at girlscoutsindiana.org.
Why do you volunteer?"I love the look of surprise, joy, and pride when a girl does something for the first time. I love watching 'my' girls grow into courageous and confident teenagers. I strive to pass on my love of the outdoors, so one day these girls will be adults who care about the environment and continue to make the world a better place."

g Safety guidelines1. Follow the Safety Activity Checkpoints. Instructions for staying safe while participating in activities are detailed in the Safety Activity Checkpoints. Read the checkpoints, follow them, and share them with other volunteers, parents, and girls (as grade-level appropriate) before engaging in activities with girls. These are found at girlscoutsindiana.org in the volunteer section of our website.
2. Arrange for proper adult supervision of girls. Your group must have at least two unrelated, approved adult volunteers present at all times, plus additional adult volunteers as necessary, depending on the size of the group and the ages and abilities of girls. Adult volunteers must be at least 18 years old and must be screened by the council before volunteering. One lead volunteer in every group must be female.
3. Get parent/guardian permission. When an activity takes place that is outside the normal time and place, advise each parent/guardian of the details of the activity and obtain permission for girls to participate.
4. Report abuse. Sexual advances, improper touching, and sexual activity of any kind with girl members are forbidden. Physical, verbal, and emotional abuse of girls is also forbidden. Report any suspected abuse or neglect to the Indiana Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 800.800.5556, and contact Diana Keely, Director of Programs, at 317.924.6856 to alert the council that you have made the call. Under Indiana law, each citizen of Indiana is considered a “mandated reporter” and State law requires the Department of Child Services to protect the identity of the reporter.
5. Be prepared for emergencies. Work with girls and other adults to establish and practice procedures for emergencies related to weather, fire, lost girls/adults, and site security. Always keep handy a well-stocked first-aid kit, girl health histories, and contact information for girls’ families.
6. Travel safely. When transporting girls to planned Girl Scout field trips and other activities that are outside the normal time and place, every driver must be an approved adult volunteer and have a good driving record, a valid license, and a registered/insured vehicle. Insist that everyone is in a legal seat and wears her seat belt at all times, and adhere to state laws regarding booster seats and requirements for children in rear seats.
7. Ensure safe overnight outings. Prepare girls to be away from home by involving them in planning, so they know what to expect. Avoid having men sleep in the same space as girls and women. During family or parent-daughter overnights, one family unit may sleep in the same sleeping quarters in program areas. When parents are staffing events, daughters should remain in quarters with other girls rather than in staff areas.
8. Role-model the right behavior. Never use illegal drugs. Don’t consume alcohol, smoke, or use foul language in the presence of girls. Do not carry ammunition or firearms in the presence of girls unless given special permission by Girl Scouts of Central Indiana council for group marksmanship activities.
9. Create an emotionally safe space. Adults are responsible for making Girl Scouting a place where girls are as safe emotionally as they are physically. Protect the emotional safety of girls by creating a team agreement and coaching girls to honor it. Agreements typically encourage behaviors like respecting a diversity of feelings and opinions; resolving conflicts constructively; and avoiding physical and verbal bullying, clique behavior, and discrimination.
10. Ensure that no girl is treated differently. Girl Scouts welcome all members, regardless of race, ethnicity, background, disability, family structure, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic status. When scheduling, helping plan, and carrying out activities, carefully consider the needs of all girls involved, including school schedules, family needs, financial constraints, religious holidays, and the accessibility of appropriate transportation and meeting places.
11. Promote online safety. Instruct girls never to put their full names or contact information online, engage in virtual conversation with strangers, or arrange in-person meetings with online contacts. On group websites, publish girls’ first names only and never divulge their contact information. Teach girls the Girl Scout Online Safety Pledge (at www.girlscouts.org/help/Internet_safety_pledge.asp) and have them commit to it.
12. Keep girls safe during money-earning. Girl Scout cookies and other council-sponsored product sales are an integral part of the program. During Girl Scout Product Programs, you are responsible for the safety of girls, money, and products. In addition, a wide variety of organizations, causes, and fundraisers may appeal to Girl Scouts to be their labor force. When representing Girl Scouts, girls cannot participate in money-earning activities that represent partisan politics or that are not Girl Scout–approved product sales and efforts.

Tools and tips for writing successful nominationsNomination guidelines
The nomination should be results oriented, measurable and include real impact stories. GSUSA has designed the guidelines and provided examples on how to write nominations that demonstrate measurable impact. It does not need to be difficult; some simple numbers will do. Some basic questions to ask and answer as nominations are written include How many? What? How? Who?
Keep the 3 keys to leadership, Discover, Connect, and Take Action in mind.
Here are some examples:
• “Brittany has been a leader for several years.” How many years? What kind of leadership qualities does she bring?
• "She has retained girls in her troop.” How many girls has she retained?
• “Her troop participates in service unit events.” What events specifically? How many events?
• “The troop has done many community service projects.” How many projects? What are they? Who have they served? Who benefitted? What need have they met?
• “The girls in the troop have benefited from their community service.” How have girls benefited
from their service? What skills have they developed? What have they learned?
• “She ensures that the girls in her troop have a balanced experience in Girl Scouting.” What makes it balanced? What kind of experiences? What new skills have the girls learned?

The three keys to leadership: girls discover themselves and their values; connect with others; and take action to make the world a better place. At Girl Scouts, everything centers around the girl: activities are girl-led, which gives girls the opportunity to learn by doing in a cooperative learning environment.
The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting
Girls at every grade-level have a Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting. Through fun activities, girls can earn a variety of badges to build the skills and gain the confidence they’ll use to change the world. They can even develop and complete activities to make their own badge.
girlscoutsindiana.org/volunteers 93
National Leadership Program through Journeys
At the core of the GSLE are national leadership Journeys, fun and challenging experiences grouped around a theme and spread over a series of sessions. Each Journey has all the important components of the GSLE sewn right in. Journeys ensure that every Girl Scout receives a consistent, high-quality experience that engages girls in realizing leadership potential.
Skill Building badge sets
The Skill-Building Badge Activity Sets offer girls the opportunity to earn additional badges throughout their Leadership Journeys. Activities are designed to turn the experiences and inspiration of the Journeys into tangible skills that girls can use throughout their lives.
Pathways
Pathways are the flexible ways girls and adults can participate in Girl Scouting such as troop, camp, events, series, travel, and virtual.

Informal Adult recognition awardsRecognition-do it often and make it meaningful-get creative!
Informal recognitions are day-to-day ways to say “thank you” to volunteers. These sincere expressions of appreciation are based on specific contributions, and are given in a timely manner. Informal recognition is powerful and effective, because volunteers feel valued by a personal touch.

Other Girl Scout and community recognitionsGrade level volunteer pins
Volunteer pins for each grade level are available through all Showcase locations. These pins are great resources to welcome and thank volunteers into roles working directly with girls or supporting a grade level behind the scenes. These position pins are not earned, but given in recognition of service supporting Girl Scouts in a variety of ways.
Adult position pins
Each position an adult member in Girl Scouting can hold has a corresponding position bar. Visit your local Showcase to purchase your categorical color position bar.
Volunteer service award pin
Pins to recognize years of service in Girl Scouting are available in five year increments up to 30 years. Pins can be purchased at your local Showcase.
Official volunteer pin
Volunteer pins may be purchased at the Showcase by any Girl Scout volunteer.
Online resources
In looking at Girl Scout recognition research the type of recognition that volunteers say they appreciate the most is recognition from troops, individual girls and parents. Find tools on girlscoutsindiana.org to recognize leaders and other volunteers informally.
President’s Volunteer Service Award
The President’s Volunteer Service Award is part of the Points of Light and is a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. As an affiliate of GSUSA your local troop or service unit can register to be a Certifying Organization. Go to presidentialserviceawards.gov to learn more about these awards and how to become a Certifying Organization. Use GSU003 as your ID when registering.
Why do you volunteer?"Girls Scouts gave the girls in my troop the opportunity to try new things in a safe environment. Even though some of the girls may have been a little afraid the first time we slept in a tent or went horseback riding, they worked through those fears, and they were so proud of themselves for completing something they thought they might not be able to do.
