PAs

Being a PA is an amazing camp experience where older girl scouts have the unique opportunity to have leardership roles amongst girls of their community and foster relationships with other PAs as well as with the younger campers.

Volunteering as a PA means you understand your attendance at the training sessions is required and that all PAs must commit to attending camp all day, every day.

PAs who submit the following paperwork by the April 5, 2008 deadline (received, not post-marked by 6 PM) will be either accepted into camp or be eligible for the PA lottery depending on the number of completed applications received. In order to be considered, the following need to be done:

Membership registration
Online Mountaindale West Day Camp registration
Girl Scout Health form (REQUIRED for paper registration only)
Girl Scout PA application (REQUIRED for online or paper registration)
2 Girl Scout PA References forms (REQUIRED for online or paper registration)
PA fee (REQUIRED: $40 with online registration; $50 with paper registration).

Indoor Training will be on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Location: Cedar Mill Bible Church (12208 NW Cornell Rd. Portland, Oregon 97229). At this event, many preliminary plans will be made and PAs and leaders will have a chance to get to know each other.

PA Overnight will be on Friday, July 11, 2008 the night before outdoor training. Arrive at 6:30 PM, dinner starts at 7:00 PM.

Outdoor Training will be on Saturday, July 12, 2008 at the Mountaindale program center from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Please note -- First Aid training will begin as soon as the outdoor training meeting is over. This event is also used to help plan and get prepared for camp the coming week.
