Camp CEO is a new and exciting program bringing together executive women leaders with teen Girl Scouts to discover what it takes to become a CEO or Senior Executive; to connect with fun and accomplished business women who will act as your business guru! Take action by building your own “mock” business plan!
Program has changed for this age group several times recently so it is often confusing as to what is current and where to go to find awards, materials and resources for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. This publication, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About SAIL, should answer most questions.

DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program
For Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors
It may come as a surprise to many that traffic accidents are the number one cause of death among teens. Moving vehicles pose more of a threat than guns, suicide or disease. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal accidents as all other drivers, and hundreds of thousandsof teens are injured in traffic accidents each year.
For the above reasons, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, in partnership with GEICO, has created the DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. The program addresses a variety of road safety topics - everything from distracted driving to car maintenance to road safety careers. Find out how YOU can make a difference on the road by earning the DASHboard Road Safety patch.
The following documents are worksheets that correspond with specific activities listed in the activity booklet. You can pick up a hard copy of all of these documents from the Atlanta Service Center.
