What are Caddies?
The Caddie Program has been around since the 1970s and the underlying purpose has remained the same. Older girls (going into grades 7th-12th) will develop valuable leadership skills through volunteering at Volunteer-Led Day Camps throughout our Council and at other events such as Service Unit Encampments. But most importantly, girls have FUN!
In order to begin your journey as a Caddie, each girl must attend Caddie Training. Caddie Training teaches outdoor skills, outdoor cooking, tent care, songs, games and communication skills.
Caddie training is a tiered training program. To begin with, each Girl Scout must take Program Aid PLUS Training. Program Aid Plus training is for girls in 6th-12th grade. It is a day class which helps a Girl Scout to become a Junior Caddie (It covers what formerly was covered by Program Aid and Junior Caddie trainings). When a Girl Scout is in 7th grade or above she may take Caddie training, and when she is in 9th grade or above, and she has experience as a Caddie at a Day Camp, a Girl Scout may take Senior Caddie training. Each level teaches different components of outdoor skills.
A Girl Scout is considered a Junior Caddie, Caddie or Senior Caddie if they meet the requirements outlined below, under Caddie Levels.
