a badge for Petro Possibilities
A new badge program
called Petro Possibilities has been developed by the Houston Chapter

Girl Scouts from across the Council to design the badge. Send your

of the oil industry (drilling and producing oil, refining oil
to fuels and lubricants, making useful chemicals out of oil);

of workers in the oil industry; and
- key concerns of oil
industry (environment, safety, economics).

Planning for Girls required for some Gold Award projects
Senior Girl Scouts
who want to plan an event for their Gold Award project must attend the
Program Department's Event Planning for Girls training before beginning
their project.
Girls may attend
this training 9 to 12 months prior to the start of their projects, but
not as first year Seniors.
Girls may take the
training before or after they submit their Gold Award application. It
is important that girls do not start on their Gold Award project until
they have taken the Event Planning for Girls training and sent a copy
of the training strip to the Council Gold Award Advisory Committee.
Girls register individually for this training using a Program Registration Form. The
completed registration form, fee, F-204, and F-185 are due one month prior
to the date of the training.
