Girls will learn the basics of being a PA including working with girls and adults, age characteristics of different program levels, as well as program planning and coordination.  This also includes a special service project with the Raptor Center: http://www.natureandraptor.org/raptor.html.

Girls must have completed their Leader In Action award before they can register for this program. After this training, girls will need to complete six activity sessions (PA internship) to complete their training and earn their pin.

Bring a sack lunch and close-toed shoes.

This event will take place in Pueblo.
