Ready to take on a leadership role and make a positive impact? 

Embark on a summer camp experience that will leave you with cherished memories, newfound skills, and a sense of accomplishment. We look forward to welcoming you to our team! 

Calling all older girls!

The Program Aide (PA), Counselor-in-Training (CIT), and Wrangler-in-Training (WIT) programs give older girls the chance to be involved in leadership, problem-solving, and learning scenarios at our summer camps and programs. 

What is a Program Aide (PA)?

A Program Aide is a Girl Scout in 6th grade or above, eager to develop her leadership skills within a program or during summer camp.

What is a Counselor-In-Training (CIT)?

A Counselor-in-Training is a Girl Scout in 8th grade or older who is enthusiastic about leading programs during our summer camp. Whether guiding a dance class, sunset yoga, or any other engaging activity, the CIT I program is tailored to bring out the leader in you. Your first week as a CIT I includes hands-on training at camp; no prior training required before registration.

Ambassadors can earn CIT II after the completion of CIT I. This is also earned at camp with specific programatic focus. 

What is a Wrangler-In-Training (WIT)?

A Wrangler-in-Training is a Girl Scout in 8th grade or older who is enthusiastic about leading equine programs during our summer camp. These girls have experience with horses and are eager to take on a leadership role, helping foster the excitement of our horse programs in younger campers. 

Here's how to get started: 

1) Earn your prerequisites. Earn the Program Aide (PA) Award by either planning and leading a Brownie troop meeting or attending an offered PA training program. Find the PA Award requirements here.

2)  Select your opportunity. Explore PA/CIT/WIT* options offered all summer long, ensuring you can get in on the fun no matter what your summer schedule looks like.

3) Express your interest. Using our new online registration system, complete PA/CIT/WIT registration for your preferred camp date(s). A member of our team will review your registration and verify your eligibility. Please allow up to 5 business days for verification. 

*Any Camp Logan CIT opportunities listed in CampDocs or in our camp guide are also WIT opportunities. Please express interest in WIT during the registration process.
