GSSJC Girl Program
Aide Specialty Course; Sailing, Canoeing, Swimming
These are the specialty course offerings the
girls need to take in order to earn their Program Aide Bar.
The Core course is offered just prior to these specialty courses.
Because this is an aquatic weekend, only the canoeing, sailing
and swimming specialty courses will be offered. This course
will enable program aides to assist instructors teaching the
various Red Cross canoeing, sailing, and swimming courses, as
well as helping where needed at an aquatic event with proper
supervisory personnel. If you assist at a later date with a
registered Red Cross course, you may also earn the Red Cross
Instructor Aide certificate for that particular specialty.
