Counselor in Training (CIT 1 & CIT 2)

Girl Scouts in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade who participate in the counselor in training program during summer resident camp.

REGISTER

Counselors in training or CIT’s are Girl Scouts in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade who participate in the counselor in training program during summer resident camp.

CIT 1:

In this first level of CIT training, Girl Scouts in 10th -12th grade establish the leadership and outdoor skills needed to be a camp counselor. Work with others to analyze what makes a good leader and participate in fun and challenging group games. Challenge yourself physically and mentally, then identify which traits you possess that can make you a positive leader. Participants have opportunities to practice leading activities with younger campers and shadow staff members as well as participate in traditional camp programming. (Two week program).

CIT 2

This is the second level of CIT training, for Girl Scouts 11th grade through Freshman year of College who have completed CIT 1, focuses on skills needed to work with youth at camp. Learn behaviors to expect from campers, how to manage them, and how to work as a team with all staff. In addition to building your skills working with campers, you will learn more about the operations of camp. After completing your two weeks of the CIT 2 program, CIT2s will have the chance to return for additional weeks and continue hands-on practice of new skills. (Two week program).
