Green Tie Guys have begun stepping up for girls in our community
Attention aspiring babysitters! Get ready for a weekend of fun and skill building during our American Red Cross Babysitter Course. During this course, Girl Scouts will earn their Cadette Babysitter badge as well as the Red Cross Babysitter’s Certification. Future babysitters will learn what to do in an emergency, basic first aid, stranger danger, and how to care for infants. This weekend will mostly be spent working through the certification in a classroom setting. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a classic camp activity such as archery, canoe, or giant swing during their stay at camp.
