 Calling
all future camp cooks!
If you like dazzling people with your culinary skills,
get into the kitchen (GSSJC’s Camp Kitchen that is)
Try to imagine 100 hungry girls and adults waiting in line
for a delicious meal. But wait – there was no Camp Kitchen
Certified cook for your event. No one was available. You could
prevent this tragedy from happening by volunteering to be
a Camp Kitchen Certified Cook.
Camp cooks work together in cooking teams, so you’re
not alone. You will make new friends with the same interests
as you. You’ll gain skills for a lifetime in this practical,
hands-on training. Use your new-found skills to cook for your
church, your next family reunion, or even your next party.
 After
your training, you will be required to attend a one-time apprenticeship
to complete your certification. Sign up today! You won’t
want to miss this opportunity!
Camp Kitchen Certification: During this
one-day training you will learn the necessary skills to become
a certified Council cook with access to Council camp kitchen
facilities. Learn how to budget and plan meals, buy in bulk,
use and care for kitchen equipment, and the fun of team cooking.
Pre-course work will be required and brought with you to the
training. Please provide your e-mail address so the pre-course
work can be sent in advance. |

Do you know an outstanding adult who is deserving of recognition?
Here is a step-by-step guide that will assist in making that
Council/national award become a reality.
- Obtain the appropriate application form.
Hint: These forms may be found in this issue
of The Golden Link, on the Council Web site (www.gssjc.org),
or in the Forms File at the Girl Scout Center.
- Fill out the form completely and accurately.
Hint: Make sure you include how long nominee
has given service to GSSJC
and highlight specific contributions.
- Identify two additional registered adults (one
may be a staff member) who know the nominee and will agree
to write a letter of endorsement.
Hint: Make sure to include volunteers and
staff whose endorsements will reflect each of the aspects
of the nominee’s service (i.e. trainers, service unit
volunteer, Council committee, etc.). The nominee’s volunteer
supervisor is a great resource.

- Obtain current Volunteer
Service Record (F-122).
Hint: These forms may be found in service
unit files or in Volunteer Records at the Girl Scout Center.
Be sure to update the form to include current information.
(The Council Adult Recognition Committee will concentrate
on service past the previous recognition.) If you cannot find
a Volunteer Service Record form anywhere, try to reconstruct
one with information gathered from people who know the nominee.
