Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is excited to announce a new, exciting program – Camp CEO where our goal is to bring together teen Girl Scouts and executive women leaders to create an environment for girls to discover what it takes to become a Chief Executive Officer. We will invite interesting, fun and accomplished business women to participate in Camp CEO. Girl participants in Camp CEO can expect to hear business women share their personal and professional story, all in an effort to give girl participants roadmaps to be successful women. Over the course of Camp CEO, programs will be built around the themes of team building, personal well-being, professional skills, projecting a positive image, personal financial savvy and career planning. Girls will participate in a variety of activities, which may include yoga, self-defense, career building, networking and more. Only twenty-four girls will be selected to participate in this 1st Annual Camp CEO at Camp Timber Ridge, in Mableton, Georgia.
At the end of the day...think about it! What did you do today?

DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program
For Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors
It may come as a surprise to many that traffic accidents are the number one cause of death among teens. Moving vehicles pose more of a threat than guns, suicide or disease. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal accidents as all other drivers, and hundreds of thousands of teens are injured in traffic accidents each year.
For the above reasons, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, in partnership with GEICO, has created the DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. The program addresses a variety of road safety topics - everything from distracted driving to car maintenance to road safety careers. Find out how YOU can make a difference on the road by earning the DASHboard Road Safety patch.
Download the DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program activity booklet here.
The following documents are worksheets that correspond with specific activities listed in the activity booklet. You can pick up a hard copy of all of these documents from the Atlanta Service Center.
