So, you want to be a camp counselor? Find out what counselor life is really like! The CIT Program enables campers to better understand the Girl Scout practices and principles related to camping and outdoor education.
The CIT Leadership Project was developed to give Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of working with younger campers in an outdoor setting. Becoming a CIT enables campers to gain insights into the responsibilities of program delivery and camp operations, offers experience in staff responsibilities, program goals, leadership styles, child development, group dynamics, outdoor skills, and conflict resolution. Campers will build a resource notebook by selecting and developing their favorite games, songs, and recipes to aid in their training.
The CIT program is designed to take place over the course of two summers. CIT 1 & 2 are each three-week programs (with weekends spent at home) designed to give Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors a chance to hone their leadership skills.
Must attend CIT 1 to attend CIT 2.
The CIT program is a total of six weeks of training (3 weeks per summer) with the intent of working at least one full summer at camp after completion, if eligible.
Completing the CIT program can also count as your prerequisite for your Gold Award!
