This course is for ages 10 and up and is specifically designed to give participants the training and skills they’ll need to be the best babysitter out there. Courses have limited seating and require preregistration to reserve a spot. All course materials and snacks are provided in the cost. Participants should bring a sack lunch.
* Note – girls will not receive a CPR/First Certification.

SEPTEMBER
St. Luke’s Women’s Fitness Celebration, Boise, Idaho
Registration for St. Luke’s Women’s Fitness Celebration is now available online! Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council is once again eyeing the Biggest Team prize, but we need your help to succeed! This year GSSSC Team members will receive a limited edition bandana and Girl Scout patch to celebrate our team spirit. You’ll be able to sign up to receive one when you register for the event.
Why the change? We opted to try out the bandanas this year primarily because the Women’s Celebration already supplies a t-shirt to all participants. We encourage all team members to wear their bandanas on the day of the race to show their Girl Scout pride and spirit! Bandanas and participation patches will be free to registered (non-adult) Girl Scouts participating in the event. Adult members will have an option to purchase the bandana for $3. Bandanas and participation patches can only be picked up at the Women’s Show or at the Boise Council Office at 1410 Etheridge Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83704.
Who: All girls and women!
When: Women’s Show is September 24 and 25, 2009
St. Luke’s Women’s Fitness Celebration Race Day is September 26, 2009
Registration: Last day to register with the GSSSC Team- September 11, 2009
We are suggesting that all GSSSC Team members register with the Blue Wave.
However, if you have strollers or wheels you need to register with the Orange Wave.
Register at www.celebrateall.org under the “Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Team”
Cost: Depends on age of participant, please visit www.celebrateall.org for prices.
First 100 to Register for NPLD and World Water Monitoring Day will Receive Free Test Kit
Hopefully we are all familiar with the saying, “Water is life.” While true, this phrase could be improved—“Clean water is life.” In the United States and throughout the developed world, people tend to take the availability of clean water for granted. We turn on a faucet and have water to drink, we dive into a lake and don’t get ill—for the most part. How is this possible?
Throughout the U.S., groups of volunteers dedicate their time to monitoring the quality of the nation’s waterways. If something doesn’t look quite right, they investigate and may eventually seek action from environmental agencies to identify and solve the problem. What are these water quality monitors looking for?
While conducting a river clean-up, or working in a park near a body of water for National Public Lands Day (NPLD), why not seize the opportunity to learn a little bit about water quality? It’s easy—simply register for World Water Monitoring Day as well, and order an easy-to-use water quality test kit. Monitor your waterway (along with tens of thousands of others around the globe) and then report your data. Information for how to do this can be found at www.WorldWaterMonitoringDay.org.
In order to encourage more NPLD groups to also take part in World Water Monitoring Day, the program is offering a FREE water test kit to the first 100 groups that register on the WWMD website and identify themselves as being associated with National Public Lands Day. For more information about WWMD or the free test kit offer, please contact Lorien Walsh at lwalsh@wef.org.
World Water Monitoring Day is officially celebrated on September 18; however, the monitoring window was extended for the first time in 2009 from March 22 (World Water Day) until December 31.
