Top Five Tips for Leaders and Advisors
1. Know Safety-Wise and consult the activity sections and safety guidelines for activities you plan to do.
2. Encourage the girls to partner with you—girls should be growing in decision-making and planning skills. The more invested they become in their activities, the happier they—and you—will be.
3. Ask for help and advice from other leaders, parents, and council staff and take advantage of council training opportunities.
4. Keep in mind that the Girl Scout Promise and Law and four Girl Scout Program Goals are the foundation of all Girl Scout activities.
5. Have fun—and do your best to ensure that the girls are having fun too!
