CIT is a volunteer program for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors. CITs will go behind the scenes with Girl Scout Adventure staff to see what it takes to run a zipline, rappel tower, climbing wall or range. CITs will work alongside professionally-trained Adventure Staff members to facilitate adventure programs for fellow Girl Scouts! CITs will gain valuable leadership experience while assisting with group warm up activities, debriefing, processing and other tasks at the adventure elements. In addition, CITs may become eligible to earn their CIT Bar, which requires at least 30 hours of service to the Girl Scout organization.
CITs should demonstrate a high level of initiative and maturity, work well both under supervision and independently, and be punctual. CITs will be asked to commit to required training, in-service dates, workshops and a minimum of 30 hours during the season which can run anywhere from 8-12 weekends.

When girls guide or teach others, they act as mentors. An exciting part of a Girl Scout’s development, teen mentoring is a win-win proposition! As teen mentors, Girl Scout Cadettes gain experience by sharing skills, testing knowledge, and trying out new leadership roles. It means a chance to be with and learn from teens – some of their favorite people. Teens who earn Leader in Action and Program Aide mentoring awards are given a unique opportunity to serve as champions for the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. As they serve in their roles, Cadettes can help grow awareness of all that Girl Scouting has to offer – Fun with a purpose: enjoyable and challenging activities that develop girls’ leadership in their daily lives and the world.
