Bring your Safety-Wise, Confirmation of registration, a leader's guide and handbook for the appropriate level, a few sheets of paper.

What will I learn?

Leaders will find out what awards, what troop activities are available at the new level, and will make a leader comfortable with the characteristics of girls at the level with which the leader has chosen to work. The leader will be able to identify physical, mental, and social characteristics of the age level of girls and identify and use the form of troop/group government that is appropriate at the new age level.

The leader will also learn how to give girls an appropriate amount of decision-making opportunities and how to use the best resources that a troop/group leader has, the Girl Scout Handbook and other GSUSA and council resources. The troop/group leader will be able to identify specific age appropriate policies, standards of health and safety and troop/group management skills for the next age level.
