GAM 2005
Deadline for Registration is February 15
GAM is a multi-level event for all Juniors, Cadettes, and
Seniors that is held at Camp Casa Mare every other year. This
year the event will be April 23. It consists
of about 20 games, many of which do not involve water. Some
of the games require specific skills, but most are just for
fun.
Girls register as a “Crew.” A GAM crew is a group
of 5-8 girls who compete in the various events at GAM. A crew
may consist of girls from different troops or Juliettes, and
different levels of Girl Scouting (Juniors, Cadettes, and
Seniors together in one crew). Each crew picks a name, makes
T-shirts, and designs a banner or windsock to represent their
crew.
After an opening parade of the crews, the crew spends the
day competing in the various games. The day can be competitive
or as laid-back as the crew wants. However, at the end of
the day, awards will be given to the crews winning the most
events and for showing the most enthusiasm. Fun and enthusiasm
are the cornerstones of the day.
Trainings are February 5, February 19, and March 19. Cost
is $3 per girl. Register with the Program Registration Form.
Look on the Septmeber CIN for more training information on
activites that require a specific skill or e-mail sboyd@sjgs.org
for registration, information, or forms. |
