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.
