>>Adult - Information Packet

The Cadette Summit is an exciting and busy weekend, involving many people to ensure a great program. As a volunteer you will be assigned to a specific role (kitchen helper, program facilitator, unit leader) based on your interests. It is your responsibility to be at the correct location throughout the weekend to help ensure adult to girl ratios are being maintained.  Overnight volunteers will be responsible for those girls that are sleeping in the same location as them, ensuring they are safe and acting in accordance with the Girl Scout Promise and Law. No adult volunteer will be housed in the same unit as their daughter/members of their troop as this is a girl experience.

Adults are required to be current Girl Scout members and have a current background check on file.
