Program Aide Training

Required to be a Twilight Camp CaddieAre you a Girl Scout Cadette, Senior or Ambassador interested in working with younger Girl Scouts? A Program Aide is a girl who uses leadership skills to share her interests and experiences with younger girls in a troop, group or camp setting. In this workshop, you'll work with other girls your age to prepare yourself to formerly lead younger girls. This training is required to be a Caddie at Twilight Camp.

Beyond Camp - Youth Event Assistant

Most girls take Program Aide Training to be a Caddie at Twilight Camp. Program Aide Training also qualifies you to be a Youth Event Assistant (YEA).

YEA’s help our Girl Scout Council put on events all over the Twin Cities for Daisies, Brownies and Juniors. They assist with events by helping with check-in, assisting with activities, and other tasks. It’s a great way to work with younger girls outside of camp.

Alternate Training Dates

Program Aide Training is required to be a Caddie at Twilight Camp. We offer it for Chanhassen and Victoria area girls in preparation for camp, but it is also offered by our Girl Scout Council. We usually have a small group of girls carpool from our side of town to one of these sessions (about 45-60 minutes away) for a fun morning of learning at an area Girl Scout Camp.
