GSSJC Girl Program Aide Speciality Course Aquatics
(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.

proficiency, and endurance of the participant. This is not

to and including the new level of certification. The GSSJC
Safe Boating test is given only if the participants bring
clean shoes and shirt and long pants for the test. Girls need
