Oh the times, and the counselor-in-training (CIT) program, they are a-changing! What’s the CIT program? It’s a beloved camp tradition where older Girl Scouts (called CITs) build their leadership and outdoor skills as they work directly with younger girls during summer camp. It’s like a multi-year training program for becoming an official camp counselor and all-around awesome human being!
Sounds fun, right? It is fun but it’s also closely tied to the Girl Scout idea of progression. Progression is one of our best ways to teach girls skills and build their confidence. That’s why CIT is only one part of our pathway to camp leadership. So what is the full progression for camp leadership? Check it out below!
