Welcome to the Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf 2009-2010 Program and Event
Guide! We hope that as you look through our publication, you find events that sound new
and exciting to you and your girls. We have tried to enclose as much as possible but as
always, dates, times, and actual events are subject to change. Please watch our website,
www.girlscoutspinestogulf.org, for updates and more information on the events. Also,
watch for the In the Know for specific information and attend service unit meetings to get
current information.

Stay tuned!!! Some events are listed but details have not been worked out so look for that
information. We will distribute it as soon as we can. We wanted to get the dates on the
calendar so you can plan accordingly! On top of those council sponsored events, the
Program Department wants to encourage your troop and service units to plan events for
your areas. We will offer Event Planner Workshops for those who need training in planning
events. The Program Team is always willing to help out in whatever way we can to help
you put on those activities for the girls.

Also enclosed, are descriptions of a few check out or purchasable materials that Girl
Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf offers. These activities can be used in troop
activities or for service unit events. Let’s use the resources we have available!

Please be aware when registering for council sponsored events…DEADLINES WILL BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED!!! In order for us to put on quality programs for an area as big as
ours, we will stick to the published deadlines. Please pay attention and be aware that
some events will be on a first come, first served basis. In an area with approximately
10,000 Girl Scouts, we will have minimum and maximum numbers for our events that will
be followed. It is recommended that you get in your money and registrations as soon as
possible to ensure your spot and the success of the event. Registration information will be
listed on all flyers, and it is not the same for every event. Be sure to read carefully and
send your money or registration in to the correct location. There will be a generic event
registration form that will be used for all events. It is located in this guide, as well as on our
website. Again, visit our website frequently to get updated information on all events.

The Program Department hopes that you find events that your girls are interested in
attending on our 2009-2010 Program Calendar. Hope to see you soon!

Participating in Girl Scouting can change the way girls see their world and their place in it.
Through programs that are girl-driven and by working in partnership with adults, girls learn
the importance of personal responsibility, the value of goal-setting, the spirit of teamwork
and the thrill of accomplishment.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience incorporates three
keys to leadership:
Discover: Girls understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills
to explore the world.
Connect: Girls care about, inspire, and team with others locally and globally.
Take Action: Girls act to make the world a better place.

             In Girl Scouting, Discover + Connect + Take Action = Leadership.

  Girls can participate in Girl Scouting as part of a troop or as an individually
                                registered member.


Girl Scout grade levels are as follows:
D – Girl Scout Daisies (Kindergarten-Grade 1)
B – Girl Scout Brownies (Grades 2-3)
J – Girl Scout Juniors (Grades 4-5)
C – Girl Scout Cadettes (Grades 6-8)
S – Girl Scout Seniors (Grades 9-10)
A – Girl Scout Ambassadors (Grades 11-12)



                                                                        (

                                   Design Criteria

This is a point of reference. We want you to know that it exists, and that this is the
criteria that will be used along the way to direct and assess our efforts. It describes
exactly what we’d like to achieve with a membership strategy and will also be used to
understand and prioritize future updates to our design based on pilot learnings.




      •   Be mission-driven.

      •   Be data driven including quantitative & qualitative market research and
          available outcome measurements.

      •   Align to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

      •   Allocate existing resources to be cost effective.

      •   Leverage funding opportunities to be sustainable and growth oriented.

      •   Attract adult volunteer role models from the diverse backgrounds to deliver
          the GSLE in all grade levels.

      •   Support short and long term volunteers through the Single-Entry System
          (SES).

      •   Provide all girls, all grades, and all backgrounds equal access for
          participation.

      •   Recruit and place girls in all grade levels based on informed choices, flexible
          offerings, interest and availability.

      •   Leverage technology to engage and re-engage members.

      •   Mobilize community partners and resources.

      •   Utilize Girl Scout competitive advantage (camp, events, troop, travel and
          global network) and build upon new innovative ideas based on girl needs
          and interests.
To make council sponsored events a wonderful experience for all, please adhere to
the following:

   All event registrations will be accepted over the counter at any service center, by mail,
   or by council staff with payment for event fees. The Program Event Registration Form to
   be used is included in this book.

   Deadlines are final. Once the registration deadline has passed, no registrations will be
   processed. All registrations must be in the office by the deadline for the event.

   No TAG-A-LONGS please! This includes extra children, girls who are not in the age
   group specified for the event, or boys! Some are events for families; these will be
   promoted as such on the individual flyers.

   Many events have minimum and maximum numbers of girls in order to make the event
   safe, cost effective, and fun. Some events fill up quickly, so get your registrations in
   early. Where possible there will be waiting lists made. Make sure you let the event
   contact person know if you will NOT be able to attend so that another girl may have the
   opportunity to participate. If minimum numbers are not met, the event will be canceled
   so please register early!

   Individual and troop registration fees are NOT refundable unless there are
   circumstances that prevent the event from being held. Girls MUST ATTEND the event
   in order to receive a badge, patch, handouts, or other event supplies unless otherwise
   noted.

   When troops attend an event, the leader (or other designated adult) must bring the
   health history and parent permission forms for all girls attending. First Aid cannot be
   administered without written permission.

   If an event is attended by an individual girl not in a troop, the health history and parental
   permission located at the bottom of the event registration form must be filled out.

   SMOKING is NOT PERMITTED at any event where girls are present.

   All registration fees are applied to the cost of the event.

Fit for a Princess teaches the importance of nutrition and physical activity. Fit
for a Princess was designed by a registered dietitian in response to girls'
health needs and is being made available to you by the Louisiana Beef
Council. To meet the needs and interests of girls across the Girl Scout Junior
age range, Fit for a Princess offers many alternative activities, most of which
can be applied toward program badges if not used to earn the Princess Zip
patch.

The primary activity is a readers theater presentation of the play, Fit for a
Princess, where the girls read the script while performing. Without requiring
elaborate props or stage settings, the play directly communicates the Girl
Scout commitment to "build a strong body." Fit for a Princess is available to
troops at no charge. If you are interested please contact your local Program
Specialist.

                                                  National Center is located in downtown
                                                  Savannah. It was the Gordon family
home, and Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon, called Daisy, was born here on October 31, 1860.
The town house, completed in 1821, is furnished as it was in 1886, the year of Daisy’s
marriage, and the year her parents renovated and enlarged the house. Girl Scouts of the
USA purchased the house in 1953. Since the dedication in 1956, it has been operated as a
Girl Scout program center and historic house museum. It is one of the most popular house
museums in the United States. In 1965, it was designated Savannah’s first national
Historic Landmark. It is open to Girl Scout troops, groups and the general public. Many
times during the year, Girl Scout troops have the good fortune to meet and share activities
with Girl Scouts from other parts of the country. Visitors always include a mix of Girl Scouts
in troops and their families, alumnae Girl Scouts and the touring public from all over the
world!” – Press Release from Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace

Through Girl Scouting, each girl is encouraged to become a stronger member of her own
religious denomination, and every Girl Scout group recognizes that religious instruction is
the responsibility of parents and religious leaders. Girl Scouting offers religious awards that
may be worn on the Girl Scout uniform.

Work on religious recognitions should be done outside the troop meeting. A special
meeting should be called if a large number of girls in the troop want to work on a particular
religious award program. Individual girls work with an advisor to complete this award.
Religious awards are earned by girls with the guidance of their leader and pastor, priest,
rabbi, or other spiritual leader. This provides a wonderful opportunity for personal and
spiritual growth.

For more information about the religious awards, please contact Programs of Religious
Activities with Youth (PRAY) at 800-933-7729 or www.praypub.org.

Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf has grant money for scholarships for girls
earning the Catholic or Protestant awards. Call the Program Department for more
information.

♦ Acadian Culture
 Girls will learn about the Acadian Culture by visiting with descendents and gathering information
     from them. They will take time to learn new games, dances, music, and stories. They can
        experience traditional food and learn the language common to the Acadian people.

                                   Council’s Own Badges

♦ Hurricane Preparedness
  The purpose is to educate ourselves about hurricanes and learn how to prepare for them. This is
vital in minimizing potential loss of life and property damage. Living along the Gulf Coast possesses

Seniors. The purpose is to educate oneself about Louisiana and its resources as well as the history.

We hope that as you look through our publication, you find events that sound new and exciting to you and your girls. We have tried to enclose as much as possible but as always, dates, times, and actual events are subject to change. Please watch our website, www.girlscoutspinestogulf.org, for updates and more information on the events. Also, watch for the In the Know for specific information and attend service unit meetings to get current information. Stay tuned!!! Some events are listed but details have not been worked out so look for that information. We will distribute it as soon as we can. We wanted to get the dates on the calendar so you can plan accordingly! On top of those council sponsored events, the Program Department wants to encourage your troop and service units to plan events for your areas. We will offer Event Planner Workshops for those who need training in planning events. The Program Team is always willing to help out in whatever way we can to help you put on those activities for the girls. Also enclosed, are descriptions of a few check out or purchasable materials that Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf offers. These activities can be used in troop activities or for service unit events. Let’s use the resources we have available! Please be aware when registering for council sponsored events…DEADLINES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!!! In order for us to put on quality programs for an area as big as ours, we will stick to the published deadlines. Please pay attention and be aware that some events will be on a first come, first served basis. In an area with approximately 10,000 Girl Scouts, we will have minimum and maximum numbers for our events that will be followed. It is recommended that you get in your money and registrations as soon as possible to ensure your spot and the success of the event. Registration information will be listed on all flyers, and it is not the same for every event. Be sure to read carefully and send your money or registration in to the correct location. There will be a generic event registration form that will be used for all events. It is located in this guide, as well as on our website. Again, visit our website frequently to get updated information on all events. The Program Department hopes that you find events that your girls are interested in attending on our 2009-2010 Program Calendar. Hope to see you soon! Yours in Girl Scouting, Micki Blakeley Program Director
  • 5. % Participating in Girl Scouting can change the way girls see their world and their place in it. Through programs that are girl-driven and by working in partnership with adults, girls learn the importance of personal responsibility, the value of goal-setting, the spirit of teamwork and the thrill of accomplishment. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience incorporates three keys to leadership: Discover: Girls understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world. Connect: Girls care about, inspire, and team with others locally and globally. Take Action: Girls act to make the world a better place. In Girl Scouting, Discover + Connect + Take Action = Leadership. Girls can participate in Girl Scouting as part of a troop or as an individually registered member. Girl Scout grade levels are as follows: D – Girl Scout Daisies (Kindergarten-Grade 1) B – Girl Scout Brownies (Grades 2-3) J – Girl Scout Juniors (Grades 4-5) C – Girl Scout Cadettes (Grades 6-8) S – Girl Scout Seniors (Grades 9-10) A – Girl Scout Ambassadors (Grades 11-12) ( ) % * ) + '

It describes exactly what we’d like to achieve with a membership strategy and will also be used to understand and prioritize future updates to our design based on pilot learnings. • Be mission-driven. • Be data driven including quantitative & qualitative market research and available outcome measurements. • Align to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. • Allocate existing resources to be cost effective. • Leverage funding opportunities to be sustainable and growth oriented. • Attract adult volunteer role models from the diverse backgrounds to deliver the GSLE in all grade levels. • Support short and long term volunteers through the Single-Entry System (SES). • Provide all girls, all grades, and all backgrounds equal access for participation. • Recruit and place girls in all grade levels based on informed choices, flexible offerings, interest and availability. • Leverage technology to engage and re-engage members. • Mobilize community partners and resources. • Utilize Girl Scout competitive advantage (camp, events, troop, travel and global network) and build upon new innovative ideas based on girl needs and interests.
  • 7. To make council sponsored events a wonderful experience for all, please adhere to the following: All event registrations will be accepted over the counter at any service center, by mail, or by council staff with payment for event fees. The Program Event Registration Form to be used is included in this book. Deadlines are final. Once the registration deadline has passed, no registrations will be processed. All registrations must be in the office by the deadline for the event. No TAG-A-LONGS please! This includes extra children, girls who are not in the age group specified for the event, or boys! Some are events for families; these will be promoted as such on the individual flyers. Many events have minimum and maximum numbers of girls in order to make the event safe, cost effective, and fun. Some events fill up quickly, so get your registrations in early. Where possible there will be waiting lists made. Make sure you let the event contact person know if you will NOT be able to attend so that another girl may have the opportunity to participate. If minimum numbers are not met, the event will be canceled so please register early! Individual and troop registration fees are NOT refundable unless there are circumstances that prevent the event from being held. Girls MUST ATTEND the event in order to receive a badge, patch, handouts, or other event supplies unless otherwise noted. When troops attend an event, the leader (or other designated adult) must bring the health history and parent permission forms for all girls attending. First Aid cannot be administered without written permission. If an event is attended by an individual girl not in a troop, the health history and parental permission located at the bottom of the event registration form must be filled out. SMOKING is NOT PERMITTED at any event where girls are present. All registration fees are applied to the cost of the event.
  • 8. , Girl Scout Juniors Fit for a Princess teaches the importance of nutrition and physical activity.

Girl Scouts of the USA purchased the house in 1953. Since the dedication in 1956, it has been operated as a Girl Scout program center and historic house museum. It is one of the most popular house museums in the United States. In 1965, it was designated Savannah’s first national Historic Landmark. It is open to Girl Scout troops, groups and the general public. Many times during the year, Girl Scout troops have the good fortune to meet and share activities with Girl Scouts from other parts of the country. Visitors always include a mix of Girl Scouts in troops and their families, alumnae Girl Scouts and the touring public from all over the world!” – Press Release from Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace For more information about how to plan a trip to the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, contact: Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Girl Scouts of the USA 10 East Oglethorpe Avenue Savannah, GA 31401 T 912 233 4501 F 912 233 4659 E-mail: birthplace@girlscouts.org

  • 11. ) Through Girl Scouting, each girl is encouraged to become a stronger member of her own religious denomination, and every Girl Scout group recognizes that religious instruction is the responsibility of parents and religious leaders. Girl Scouting offers religious awards that may be worn on the Girl Scout uniform. Work on religious recognitions should be done outside the troop meeting. A special meeting should be called if a large number of girls in the troop want to work on a particular religious award program. Individual girls work with an advisor to complete this award. Religious awards are earned by girls with the guidance of their leader and pastor, priest, rabbi, or other spiritual leader. This provides a wonderful opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. For more information about the religious awards, please contact Programs of Religious Activities with Youth (PRAY) at 800-933-7729 or www.praypub.org.
