welcome
Hey Girls!
Welcome to another year of exciting programs
and events offered by your council, Girl Scouts
Heart of Central California. From the north to
the south, from the east to the west, we are
offering many wonderful new opportunities for
you to participate in, along with some of your
old favorites.
Inside these pages you will discover a vast
array of options that will allow you to explore
new interests, have fun, and even make new
friends with your sister Girl Scouts. Whether
you’re a Girl Scout Daisy, Brownie, Junior,
Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador, you’ll find a
list of experiences to choose from throughout
the year. There are even lots of events where
you can bring your family and your friends who
aren’t yet Girl Scouts, so that they can share in
the fun and excitement.
Check out all the overnight experiences we
offer. Have fun at our Fairy Festival, or connect
with the Princess In You. Explore your
adventurous side by getting outdoors for a
bike ride, a horse ride, a hike, or move indoors
and climb a rock wall. We do have a brand new
horse program this year! See the council Web
site www.girlsccoutshcc.org and get all the
details. Get physical: learn a new dance style,
strengthen your forehand, engage in a sword
fight, or learn how to protect yourself. Discover
who you want to be: explore new careers in
agriculture, engineering, fashion, and the arts.
Learn how you can fulfill your Girl Scout
promise to make a difference for others
through Leave No Trace principles and
performing community service.
There are so many great opportunities that
await you this year and the best part is the
FUN! So DISCOVER, CONNECT and TAKE
ACTION as you enjoy everything a new Girl
Scout year and your Girl Scout council has
to offer.
Hey Girls!
Hello Leaders and
Parents
We hope you are excited by all the
opportunities and experiences offered for girls
this year by Girl Scouts Heart of Central
California. After looking through the calendar,
please review the “Registration Information”
section so that you are familiar with the process
and procedures related to confirmation, billing
and cancellation. We also encourage you to
read the information on the new Girl Scout age
levels to clarify if events are age-appropriate.
Please check the council web site as often as you
can at www.girlscoutshcc.org in the Programs
and Events section. As Girl Scouts, we tend to
be quite advanced in our planning. Some of
the organizations that offer wonderful program
opportunities for our girls don’t always plan as
far ahead as we do, so during the year we will
add special, late-breaking events that haven’t
made it into this book.
Did you know the council now owns horses
for girls to learn how to ride? Look for the
separate Horse Programs calendar to be
published separately for dates and locations of
all our horse riding opportunities (please see
pg. 9 for more details).
We are often looking for volunteers to help
staff at events. Please see the section on
Helping Hands for ways that you can assist
and receive a discount in the event fee. Look
for the Hands icon. If you have any questions
regarding the content of a specific event/
training, feel free to contact the Program
Department at info@girlscoutshcc.org or
(916) 638-4475 / (800) 322-4475.
Thank you for your continuing support of Girl
Scouting and for your interest in exploring new
opportunities for girls. We know you expect
quality programs and we will do our best
to deliver!
Program Made
Affordable
As a not-for-profit organization, Girl Scouts
Heart of Central California carefully balances its
daily business operations with its commitment
to member services, especially girl program.
Program events and training are made
affordable through proceeds from the Fall
Product and Girl Scout Cookie Product
Programs. When you participate in these
product programs, you help raise needed
funds to support events and training courses
and keep your participant costs low.
The events and training courses in this
calendar are also partially financed by a
combination of individual gifts, Family
Partnership contributions, grants, corporate
donations, in-kind gifts, and United Way
contributions. We especially rely on the
generosity of individuals, who are our greatest
supporters, for the successful continuation of
these program events and training.
These proceeds and contributions help fund
girl program costs such as research, planning,
facilities, registrations, insurance coverage and
materials. That means we are able to provide
events and training courses to you at a fee less
than the actual cost.
For example: Cookie College last year cost the
council $30 per girl. The fee we charged each
girl however, was only $10.
Another example: Recognition of Excellence
Ceremony costs the council $100 per girl. This
is a FREE event for honored awardees, their
families and friends.
These savings are outside of financial assistance,
which is available for most program
events and training. Please take advantage of
the many events and training courses available
to you in this year’s program calendar.
Yours in Girl Scouts,
Girl Scouts Heart of Central
California Program Staff
When donating to
United Way, designate
Girl Scouts Heart of
Central California.

new Girl scout—
Grade Levels
Please note that throughout this year’s event
calendar when we refer to particular age levels
we are utilizing the following as recommended
by GSUSA:
Girl Scout Daisy (grades K–1)
Girl Scout Brownie (grades 2–3)
Girl Scout Junior (grades 4–5)
Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6–8)
Girl Scout Senior (grades 9–10)
Girl Scout Ambassador (grades 11–12)
We recognize that we are in a period of transition
when it comes to these grade levels. At this
stage you may choose to identify yourself with
a different grade level name than those listed
above. Please look at the grade level for each
program event to know if you will qualify. We
attempt to make program events grade-
appropriate. We will make every effort to place
people in the correct event according to their
grade levels. If you have problems or questions
on whether or not you will be able to register
for an event please do not hesitate to call the
council office at (916) 638-4475 or
email info@girlscoutshcc.org.
Find the Perfect Event
for You!
Adventure: Get outside, try something new,
and be active. Do you love a challenge? Have
you always wanted to go for a hike or learn a
new sport? These events spell your name! All
girls can try new things at their level and have
a great time doing it!
Discover: Experiments and ideas are sure to
spark your creativity with these events. Learn
how things work and why they work. Explore!
Real World: If being a leader and reaching for
your goals is your style, these events are for
you! Develop skills for a lifetime: sewing, how
to fix a car, become a leader; the possibilities
are endless!
Enlighten: Discover the world of the past.
Investigate historical places and find out more
about your own history. Events like this are
sure to ignite your curiosity and make you want
to come back for more.
The Arts: Theater. Music. Art. Dance. Whether
you like to try new moves or watch live theater,
you are sure to love these events. Filled with
ceramics, instruments, fashion design, the
stage, and more!
Helping Hands
Some programs require
Helping Hands
to register
participants, run a station
activity, hand out name tags, set up/clean up,
open/close buildings, etc…to find out which
programs need Helping Hands look for the
symbol in the event description.
If your troop is selected to serve as Helping
Hands
at a program that you are attending,
we will credit 50% of the troop’s registration
fee (up to a value of $10 per girl) towards that
or a future program event. For example, if the
registration fee is $8.00 per girl, and your troop
of 10 girls serves as Helping Hands, you would
receive a $40.00 credit. Your troop members
are still able to participate in the event if it is
open to their age group. In the case where
your troop volunteers to be Helping Hands
at
an event which is not open to their age group
and where they would not be participating,
but just assisting, then they would be eligible
to receive the 50% credit (up to a value of
$10 per girl) off another single day event of
their choice.

form from appearing. You must
disable your pop-up blocker to register.
• Make sure all names and addresses are
entered correctly.
• Once your registration has been submitted,
you will see a pop-up window that
tells you, “Your registration has been successfully
submitted.” This means only that
your registration has been submitted; it
does not mean you are automatically in
the event/training. After the billing date,
you will be notified whether or not you
have been randomly selected to attend.
• Bills will be sent to addresses on file.
If you have a change of address, then
please fill out the Change of Member
Information form, available from your
Membership Director, and submit it to
the council office.
• If you have opted to receive correspondence
via e-mail, then make sure that
onlinereg@girlscoutshcc.org is on your
approved e-mail address list.
• Call the council office and ask for the
Administration Department if you need
further assistance.

• Please call the day after the event
placement (see the billing date for each
specific event in the calendar), if you’d
like to inquire about your registration status
prior to your bill arriving in the mail.

arrangements to pay the event fee when
your bill arrives.
• Pay immediately upon receipt of the bill
to ensure your registered status.

a waiting list for the event, then you will
be dropped from the event and another

faqs
What does “billing date” mean?
The billing date is normally 8 weeks prior to a
one day event or 10 weeks prior to the event
date of any overnight programs. There are some
exceptions at the start of the program year and
when the billing date would fall over the holiday
period. The billing date is the date that the computer
randomly selects from the registrations
received who or which troops will be given the
first opportunity to participate in the event.
What if the billing date has passed
and I have not been contacted?
Placement of registrations for an event will
not occur 8-10 weeks prior if the minimum
attendance has not been reached. Please be
patient or call a sister troop and ask if they
would like to participate in the event. You may
also call the Administration Department or
send an e-mail to info@girlscoutshcc.org to
verify that your registration has been received.
A decision to cancel the event will be made
four weeks prior to the event date due to low
enrollment and you will be contacted if the
event is cancelled.
What is the process for placement
into events?
All registrations will be processed by random
selection on the billing date listed for each
event. This date is normally 8-10 weeks prior
to the event. Please check the specific event
description for the exact billing date. Registration
forms must be received no later than 1
day prior to the billing date in order to be
considered for the first round of selection and
placement. No priority is given to a specific
individual or troop, or for when the registrations
was received. If you do not receive
information regarding your event registration
one week after the event billing date, then
please call the council office to inquire about
your placement status or e-mail an inquiry to
info@girlscoutshcc.org. Your billing notice is
the confirmation that you have been placed in
the event/training.
What is the process for placement
into trainings?
All training registrations are processed on
a first come, first served basis. Individual
registration forms should be used for all
training courses. (Copies are acceptable.) This
form can be found in the back of this book, at
www.girlscoutshcc.org, or from your advisor.
Completed registration forms must be mailed
to the council office at least 15 days prior to
the training course. An information packet and
bill will be sent to you for all training courses
4
in which you are confirmed to attend. Upon receiving
the bill, you will have 15 days to pay for
the training course. If payment is not received
within 15 days and there is a waiting list, then
you will be dropped from the training course. If
a training course is filled, then you will be notified
by letter and placed on the waiting list.
Are there waiting lists?
A waiting list will be maintained for all events/
trainings that have reached enrollment capacity.
Waiting list participants could receive
notice up to 72 hours prior to an event/training.
In cases where it is less than a week prior
to the event/training you will also be contacted
by phone.
Do I need to cancel from the
waiting list?
Yes, you need to cancel in writing if you are no
longer interested in being kept on the waiting
list or have made other plans for the event/
training date that would prevent you from being
available to attend.
What if I don’t cancel from an
event/training after you are
confirmed to attend?
You will be held financially responsible for
your confirmed registration. Participants with a
balance due will be prohibited from registering
for any future program events/council trainings
until the balance has been paid.
Is financial assistance available?
Financial assistance is available for individual
Girl Scouts with financial need. Every effort will
be made to assist Girl Scouts to participate in
the council-sponsored events/trainings listed
in this calendar. Families are expected to pay
a portion of the fee. The financial assistance
form must be attached to the registration
when it is mailed, or the request for financial
assistance will not be processed. If requesting
financial assistance for an event for which you
have registered online, the financial assistance
form should be submitted directly to the Main
Council Office, Rancho Cordova prior to the
event billing date to allow for processing.
The Request for Financial Assistance form is
located in this book and can be copied. Please
return the financial assistance form with your
event/training registration form to: Girl Scouts
Heart of Central California, 3005 Gold Canal
Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.
When does the council cancel an
event/training?
If an event/training does not meet the minimum
number of participants, no later than four
weeks prior to the event or two weeks prior to
the training, then it will be cancelled. Extreme
circumstances, such as severe weather, can
cause events/trainings to be cancelled on rare
occasions. If this occurs, then you will be given
a full refund and receive special notification.
Who is notified if an event/training
is cancelled?
Only those registered for an event/training will
be notified of cancellation, changes, or other
important information.
Can you change your event
registration numbers?
Registration numbers can be changed at
any time prior to the billing date of an event
without penalty by calling the Administration
Department or e-mailing info@girlscoutshcc.
org. If your troop has a confirmation/bill for
an event, it is more than 15 days prior to
the event, and the final head count is lower
than originally expected, you may have the
payment adjusted. You can do this by calling
the Administration Department at the council
office. If you have more people who want to
attend than originally registered, then call the
Administrative Department at the council office.
You may not make any online changes to
your registration numbers once your registration
has been submitted.
When do you get more information
on the specifics of an event/
training?
For events: If you have registered online, you
will first receive a notification that your online
registration has been submitted. After the
billing date, all registrations receive either a
bill to notify you of your selection to attend
and financial responsibility, or a notice that
you have been placed on the waiting list. For
those who are selected to attend, information
packets, including more detailed event
information and a map, will be mailed no later
than three weeks prior to the event.
For trainings: Detailed training course information
and map, will be mailed at the same
time as your confirmation/bill.

You must be a registered member of Girl
Scouts Heart of Central California to register

contact the Administration Department for
assistance.
What if you have a special need?
Let us know if you need the following:
wheelchair accessibility, sign-language interpreter,
food allergy or other special need.
Due to the nature of some of these activities,
accommodation may not be available in all
circumstances.
Calling all Program Aides!
Program aides (PA’s) are girls, who have
completed program aide training. The time
you volunteer can be used toward program
aide or community service hours. Program
aides can assist with registration, lead activity
stations, teach songs, and help younger girls
enjoy events. Get qualified as a program aide
through the many courses
offered in “Trainings.”
Once qualified, program aides are invited to
volunteer at Girl Scout events. You can also
meet other program aides and discuss upcoming
opportunities with program specialists
firsthand. Come to the Program Aide Kickoff,
Friday, October 17, 2008 at the Main Office in
Rancho Cordova to find out more. Then after
your year of service, join us for an evening
recognizing your volunteer efforts on Friday,
June 5, 2009 at our Modesto Office. There will
also be an optional sleepover for this event.
New this coming year will be the addition of
a Program Aide - Beyond Basics Workshop
weekend, to be held at Fleming Lodge,
Saturday, September 12, through Sunday,
September 13, 2009, where you can have fun
while practicing leadership and program aide
skills such as time management and preparing
for a station.
For a summary of program aide opportunities
and events, check out “Program Aides.” To
register as a program aide for an event in this
calendar, complete the Program Aide Registration
form and indicate the event(s) for which
you would like to volunteer.
Adult Responsibility
The established ratio of adults to girls is normally
achieved at most trainings and events for
girls, ages 11–17, without the accompaniment
of a supervising adult. As a result, most do
not require an advisor or other troop adult to
stay for the duration of the activities. There are
instances where adult supervision is required
for an event and troops/individuals will not be
allowed to participate without an adult. There
are also events (particularly Outdoor Adventure
Seeker events) where adults are discouraged
from attending, and may not be allowed
to participate with the girls. Our primary goal is
to provide program for girls; as a result, there
may not be space for additional adults above
the experienced staff number or the Safety-
Wise ratio. Please see individual training/event
descriptions for supervision requirements.
To provide a diverse experience for girls, troop
members may be separated into different
groups during events. Adults may be asked
to provide supervision for girls who are not
members of their troop. Please be sure all
adults and girls with your troop are aware of
this possibility.
A Word About Awards
While the Girl Scout program usually involves
girls earning awards, this should not be the
main focus of the girl experience. Our events
offer opportunities for girls to work on portions
of a particular award. Sometimes all
requirements can be completed at an event;
oftentimes however, work must be concluded
in a troop or individual setting.
Earning an award acknowledges individual
growth or accomplishment and generally takes
time. Girls are encouraged to participate in
Girl Scout activities without the expectation of
always receiving a patch. At all times, advisors
play a key role in stressing the program experience
over the accumulation of awards.
Tagalongs
A tagalong is a child not registered in your
troop, such as a sibling of any age. A tagalong
can also be a Girl Scout who attends an event
that is offered for an age level different than
her own.
Tagalongs are not covered by Girl Scout insurance
and change the dynamics of the event,
which is not fair to the troop, other troops or
the event facilitator.
The council requests that tagalongs do not
attend events. Those in violation of this
request may be prohibited from attending
future events.

girl scout awards
Girl Scout Silver Award ®
The highest award that Girl Scouts in grades
6-9 may earn is the Girl Scout Silver Award for
recognition of outstanding dedication, commitment,
and community service. The award
has six steps that must be completed; steps
1–4 are considered prerequisites and are there
to help girls hone skills they will use during
the 5 th & 6 th steps of the award. Steps 1–4
can be completed as a troop. Steps 5 & 6 are
considered the Girl Scout Silver Award project,
and must be completed either individually by
each Girl Scout, or as a group with individually
defined roles. For more information and
required forms, please visit our Web site at
www.girlscoutshcc.org or email the Program
Specialist in charge at silveraward@girlscoutshcc.org.
Before completing the Girl Scout Silver Award

Girl Scout Silver Award Ceremony
Girl Scout Gold Award ®
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the culmination
of your Girl Scout career; it is an explicit
demonstration of all the leadership, organization
and community service skills you have
acquired. It is the highest achievement for Girl
Scouts in grades 10-12. Through the completion
of this award, not only will you gain a
personal sense of accomplishment and benefit
your community, but you will also join in a network
of tens of thousands of women who have
earned this honor. You’ll find that colleges and
universities, businesses and your community,
recognize the effort and leadership you have
demonstrated. In fact, some colleges and
universities offer scholarships to girls who have
earned their Girl Scout Gold Award.
If this is the first time you have considered the
Girl Scout Gold Award, then you need to know
that there are two distinct parts to earning it:
the prerequisites and the project. Within the
prerequisites, there are five steps. To familiarize
you with these steps, review the Girl
Scout Go For It: Girl Scout Gold Award basic
binder insert, or download the requirements
from www.girlscoutshcc.org. For a Girl Scout
Gold Award project, the sixth step is your
opportunity to combine all the tools and skills
acquired from completing the prerequisites.
When considering your project, it is important
to remember:
• A Girl Scout Gold Award project is intended
to make a lasting positive impact on your
community.
• Your project must be driven by something
you are passionate about; not your leader,
your parents, your friends or your dog…
but something that inspires you.
• A Girl Scout Gold Award project must
be multi-faceted in nature; it should use
multiple methods to address your chosen
community issue.
• The neat thing about all this is, that even
though it’s your project, your passion, decision
etc., there are still a ton of people who
are ready and willing to support you. Just ask.
• If you have any questions feel free to
contact the Program Specialist in charge of
the Girl Scout Gold Awards at goldaward@
girlsout shcc.org
Award Trainings and Events
It is highly recommended that you and your
advisor attend Achieving Excellence: Girl
Scout Gold Award training before starting any
prerequisites. This training will help you both
understand the process from start to finish.
Please review this calendar for the specific
dates and locations of the class.

Recognition of Excellence Ceremony
Girl Scouts Heart of
Central California Rose Award
Developed by girls, the Rose Award grew out
of a desire for a well-rounded award, and can
be earned by any Heart of Central California

must fulfill requirements in each of these areas:
service, out-of-doors, independent living skills,
creative activities, well-being, international
friendship, Girl Scout Promise and Law, career
exploration and adult roles in Girl Scouting.
The Rose Award is an excellent way to round
out and reflect on all that you have learned
and done so far in your Girl Scout career. A
notice of intent must be sent into the program
department at the Main Office, Rancho Cordova,
9-12 months prior to finishing the award.
This award is presented annually at the Recognition
of Excellence Ceremony to all girls who
submit their final Rose Award paperwork by
March 20, 2009. You can download the requirements

Bridge to Adult Award
So you bridged from Girl Scout Daisy to Girl
Scout Brownie, then to Girl Scout Junior, and
so on, right on up. Did you know that you can
bridge to adult, too? Just as you shared your
knowledge with the age level below you, and
tried out activities from the age level above
you, so will you enter the world of adult Girl
Scouts. Talk with adult Girl Scouts and reflect
on all the incredible stuff you’ve accomplished!
What better way to mark your passage from
girl member to adult member? Receive this
award at the Recognition of Excellence Ceremony
by submitting a report by March 20,
2009. Contact the council office for requirements
and paperwork or email program@
girlscoutshcc.org.

email program@girlscoutshcc.org for more
information.
Adventure Seekers
Outdoor Adventure Seeker: (OAS) that’s you!
You’re always looking for the next trail to hit,
the next mountain to board down and the next
rock face to climb. You’re looking for adventure,
an adrenaline rush, that natural, healthy
high of accomplishment!
OAS events are designed so that girls of all
skill levels can participate successfully. All OAS
events (marked with “OAS” next to the event
title) are specifically for older girls in grades 8
and up. Our goal is to provide an adventure
program that is challenging and accessible
to girls who are ready for the next level in
outdoor fun.
The really cool thing about OAS events is that
you sign up individually, rather than as a troop.
So if you’re the only one who’s free, or if you
and your friend are the only ones who want
to go mountain-biking, then you can sign up
without the rest of your troop. The council provides
all adult supervision. You can also invite
your non-Girl Scout friends to check it out with
you. Just call the council office and ask how.
OAS Event Grades Dates Fee
Ropes Course 8–12 Sunday, November 16, 2008 $45
Snowboarding 8–12 Sunday, February 8, 2009 $65
Rock Climbing 8–12 Saturday, June 13, 2009 $65

Swimming Safety
Swimming, waterskiing, and windsurfing require the presence of a lifeguard. If you are using a facility where a
lifeguard is provided, then you do not need to provide additional lifeguards. See Safety-Wise for additional
safety information. For these guidelines, water activities are defined as any activity where girls will be in water
more than knee-deep.
Girl Scouts of the USA has established three levels of lifeguard training. In 2009, our council will offer American
Red Cross Waterfront Lifeguard Training. This course is designed to give adults, 18 years of age and older, basic
lifeguard skills and an emphasis on waterfront skills to be used for lakes, rivers, and stream environments. If this
course is not convenient, we suggest you contact your local Red Cross chapter, community college, or recreation
and park district for course availability. The American Red Cross Waterfront Lifeguard course will not be readily
available in most communities. Basic American Red Cross Lifeguard Training classes are generally offered in the
spring and fill quickly, so register early.

2009 Girl Scout Cookie Program
Going Places – Girls Take The Lead!
This year’s theme conveys the excitement that girls will feel as they set
Girl Scout Cookie goals, make decisions, learn about themselves and
exceed all expectations. Girls have the chance to take the lead and go
places they have never been before as they work hard to overcome
challenges and seize opportunities during the 2009 Girl Scout Cookie
Program.
Seven varieties of Girl Scout Cookies will return from last year: Caramel
deLites®, Shortbread, Thin Mints, Thanks-A-Lot®, Peanut Butter
Patties ®, Peanut Butter Sandwich, and Lemonades. New this year are
the reduced-fat Daisy Go Rounds which come in 5 single serving snack
packs. All eight delectable flavors can be purchased at $3.50 per box.

More Program Opportunities
Service Projects
Girl Scouts Heart of Central California receives numerous requests for
girls to participate in service projects. Community organizations such
as park districts, children’s hospitals, the Sacramento Creek Foundation,
The Wild Life Conservation, and others want and need the help of
volunteers. In fact, they frequently ask Girl Scouts to find individual girls,
troops, and adults to help in several different ways.
Girls have participated in many community service projects such as:
providing children’s activities at community events and festivals, visiting
nursing facilities and senior centers, wrapping gifts during the holidays
and much more!
If girls are interested in being contacted about the various service projects,
then please fill out a service project finder form and return it to the
council office. Forms can be obtained by contacting the council office or
online at www.girlscoutshcc.org.
Color Guard
Color guard is an individual commitment in which girls may present the
colors of our country in a variety of ceremonies. The Heart of Central
California Color Guard can have 20 event requests or more each year
for opening ceremonies of meetings, sporting events, grand openings,
dinners, lunches, park dedications and parades. Color Guard takes place
throughout our council’s jurisdiction. Due to the increased size of our
council, while there is one Heart of Central California Color Guard, it will
have three service locations Modesto, Stockton and Sacramento. Girls
can become a Color Guard member in any of these three areas by completing
a registration form and attending one of the three Color Guard
Attention trainings. (Dates, times and locations are listed in the event
calendar.) Girls may join at any time during the year.
A Color Guard participation patch or year rocker will be given to
members who participate in at least five events during a membership
year. NEW- there is now a tracking form for each girl to fill out that lists
the events she has participated in. Once a Color Guard member has
done five events she can turn the form in to the Program Specialist who
oversees the Color Guard in her area for her participation patch or year
rocker.
Hear & Now
We have a magazine and a Web site waiting
to publish your thoughts, ideas, and
experiences! Each year girls are chosen to
be part of the H&N Editorial Board to write,
edit, and experience publishing a real teen
magazine! To become one of our contributing
writers/photographers, send an e-mail to
MarComm@girlscoutshcc.org.

Speak up: You mean, I can be on the news?
If you enjoy public speaking or would like to be interviewed about Girl
Scouts on radio or television, then this is for you! You may have the
chance to take part in community presentations or media opportunities
and talk about what’s new, what’s fun, what’s cool (and what’s not!).
Girls, ages 11–17, are eligible. If you are interested, send an e-mail to
MarComm@girlscoutshcc.org. The Marketing and Communications
department will contact you and get you ready for your big debut; even
if you’ve never done something like this before. There are so many opportunities
and best of all… it is so much fun!
Planning Board
Are you an older girl? Do you want to have some input on the events
for Girl Scouts in our council? Would you like to have your say and
share your ideas? Are you willing to plan some of our special council
celebrations, like the Recognition of Excellence, with your sister Girl
Scouts? This year there is no need to come to a separate Planning Board
meeting. We will be seeking your feedback, input and ideas at specially
designated program activities throughout the year. The following events
will qualify:

festival. Some of the festivals we attend are: Trick or Treat at Arden Fair
(October), Martin Luther King Day (January). Festival de la Familia (April),
Family Safety & Health Expo (May), and Pacific Rim Festival (May).

Good Turn Days
This is a service project for all ages! Help collect usable items for resale
at Goodwill stores throughout most of the council’s jurisdiction. When
your troop participates in Good Turn Days, you are “using resources
wisely” and “making the world a better place” in so many ways: recycling
materials that might otherwise be thrown out; providing necessary
items for low-income families; and supporting Goodwill Industries jobtraining
and placement programs for people with disabilities. (You will
receive flyers at your service unit meetings in March 2009.)
Girl Scout Shops
Girl Scout Shops are owned and managed by Girl
Scouts Heart of Central California. The proceeds
help provide Girl Scout events and training,
outreach, volunteer training and development and
management of Fleming Lodge, Camp Menzies
and other council properties. With three shops to
serve you (Rancho Cordova, Modesto, and E-Shop)
we carry everything in the Girl Scout Merchandise
catalog as well as items especially selected for
members in our council.

December 13, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at our Rancho Cordova
Office. See hundreds of collectible dolls on display: antique, imported,
paper, new and unusual dolls. Girl Scouts can use this opportunity to
work on a collecting badge. Doll experts will be available to answer your
questions. This is a FREE event open to all Girl Scouts. No registration
necessary.
Shop on Wheels

there? We are happy to pack up our most popular Girl Scout items and

How to Get Started on Religious
Awards
1. Girls must obtain the specific booklet for their religion.
• Contact the religious organization directly. (See chart.)
• Each girl needs her own booklet to document progress.
• Some religions offer adult manuals for counselors and mentors.
2. Parents should review the program guidelines.
• Some programs require that girls be official “members” of the religious
institution.
• Age/grade requirements vary from program to program.
• Each program sets its own guidelines as to who may serve as counselor.
Some programs require clergy to serve as counselor; other programs
allow parents or other family members to serve as counselor.
3. Families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the
booklet before beginning any program.
• Most programs require that they be completed under the auspices of
that religious organization.
• Many programs require the signature from the local religious leader.
4. Girls must complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures,
and follow the instructions to order the recognition or pin.
• These recognitions or pins are not available in your Girl Scout store.
(Follow the instructions in your booklet.)
• The award should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably
in the girl’s religious institution.
• The award can be presented at anytime of the year. Girl Scout Sunday/Sabbath
in March is a perfect time to recognize recipients.

Historical Museum
Did you know that Girl Scouts Heart of Central California have access
to a marvelously maintained wealth of Girl Scout history? Our council
is fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteers who support the
council’s Historical Museum with tours, memorabilia trunks, uniforms and
displays available for troops’ education and enjoyment.
Located inside the Girl Scout Shop in Rancho Cordova, the Historical
Museum offers sixty to ninety minute interactive tours encouraging girls
to touch, investigate, and enjoy the rich heritage of Girl Scouts. Girls
can dress in a replica of the first Girl Scout uniform, and complete parts
of the Girl Scout Brownie Try-Its (Her Story and Brownie Girl Scouts
Through the Years) or the Girl Scout Junior badges (Girl Scouting in the
USA and Across Generations). Girl Scout Cadettes, Girl Scout Seniors
and Girl Scout Ambassadors can train as museum docents, and gain the
skills to be able to share Girl Scout history with others.
Historical Resources
Girl Scouts can enjoy several historical
resources:
• Wear uniforms from the 1950s to present
day at community events.
• Display uniforms from 1912 to present
day at council or community events.
• Adults and older Girl Scouts can wear
a reproduction of the uniform worn by
Juliette Lowe.
• Create an exhibit for your local post office, public library, community
event or city office with the Community Display Box containing posters,
handbooks, and catalogues.
• Girl Scout Juniors and older can recreate Girl Scouting as it was from
1912 to 1919 with the Juliette Trunk containing 1912 uniforms, semaphore
flags, Morse code, handbooks, rope for knot tying, Girl Scout
Bingo and more, along with a guide for leading 2-3 meetings with
these resources.
• Girl Scout Brownies can use the Brownie Trunk to recreate meetings
in the style of 1926 Brownie Scouts. The trunk includes replica
uniforms, program props and a guide on how to use the trunk to lead
2-3 meetings.
To reserve any of the historical resources, schedule a museum tour, or for
more information, please contact the council office at (800) 322-4475 or
