Girl Scout History and Archives Volunteers
Ongoing
The GSCNC History and Archives Committee is looking for new volunteers to help with their mission of bringing history to life for Girl Scouts in the Nation's Capital. Volunteers can help with a number of projects:

• Using existing Girl Scout archives materials to develop history program kits that troops can borrow to learn about history (for example, a Brownie history box might contain an old Brownie uniform, Brownie
  
• Learn about the history of Girl Scouting and deliver history presentations to girls in the area
  
• Help with the preservation and organization of the GSCNC Archives collection
  

If you might be interested in any of these projects, please contact Julie Lineberry, Chair of the GSCNC History and Archives Committee, at julie.lineberry@gte.net.

Level 2 First Aiders Needed
The GSCNC program department is compiling a list of volunteers who are willing to act as level two first aiders for programs. Level 2 first aiders are needed for any program serving more than 200 people. Qualified volunteers must have taken level 2 first aid courses from the American Red Cross, National Safety Council, or another recognized organization (p. 37 in Safety-Wise). Medical professionals may also be considered level 2 first aiders (physicians, physician's assistants, nurses, paramedics, or EMTs, among others). Below are some upcoming programs for which we need first aiders. Additionally, if you see a program with more than 200 participants for which you'd like to be the first aider, contact program specialist Jessica Russell at jrussell@gscnc.orgor 202-237-1670 or 800-523-7898 ext. 210.
