The GS Promise fund is run by GSCNC and covers the cost of camp fees for those in need. There is a quick form and no proof of income required. Please reach out to burkelakecamp@gmail.com for more information.
If your Cadette isn't quite ready to have the added responsibility of being an AIT, they are welcome to stay in the Cadette unit.
For example, a girl that has never attended the camp, but would like to learn more about the AIT/Aide program, or a girl who knows about the program but is not ready to take on the responsibility of a leadership position.
We will work with them to help them achieve their future Girl Scout goals (whatever they may be) and give them the opportunity for advancement while in a lower pressure environment.
