If you have completed and passed this units as a going into grade 7 in July 2011 with our camp, you are eligible to be a PA.Being a PA is an amazing experience, but with it comes responsibility. The PAIT unit is geared to preparing girls for being PAs the year after and beyond. The training is intense and friendships made between fellow PAIT’s are strong and lasting.
The training teaches the girls about leadership and how to work with younger girls. They complete the "Girl Scout Program Aide Outdoor Specialty Training". Two days during the week of camp, the PAIT’s are placed in units; first time is to shadow the PAs in that unit and they will be able to observe what the role of a PA is like and then again to be the lead PA in that unit.
