Cadette Cluster Information
Del Mar Scouts - We Stay Together!
The Surfside Cluster encompasses cadette/senior scouts and troops from Carmel Valley in the south to Oceanside in
the north.  The purpose of the cluster is to have a type of service unit-like place where older scouts can
learn leadership
skills, participate in activities and do service projects
. Meetings and events are scheduled 4-5 during the school year.
 Please contact the Surfside Cluster liaison with any further inquiries.  All registered scouts are welcome to participate.

New Interest Projects
Here they are!
These new Interest Projects (IPs) are available online only and are free for you to download or print at
http://www.studio2b.org/lounge/gs_stuff/ip_intro.asp

What We Did
To reflect the ideas suggested by girls like you, the four activity categories (Technology, Skill Builders, Service Projects,
and Career Exploration) have been merged into three:
•        LEARN: Acquire new skills while building your knowledge of a specific topic.
•        DO: Practice your newfound skills and knowledge. Many of these activities engage you in exploring a career path
that might potentially interest or benefit you in the future.
•        SHARE: Really shine by demonstrating your new skills and knowledge in a leadership role. Many of these activities
ask you to develop and plan a sharing project in your community.
What Happens to the Old IPs?
New is Great But the Old Still Remains
You have many options for what you do in Girl Scouts. You could develop a business plan in a STUDIO 2B Focus book
one day and find your own way out of the woods with a compass the next.
Continue to choose and use the resources you're interested in—from your current handbook and the Interest Projects for
Girls 11-17 book to the

STUDIO 2B Collection series and Focus books.
The most important thing is that YOU choose the Girl Scout resources and activities that will support you on your journey
toward becoming a conscientious, courageous, and confident young woman.
Can I earn the other IPs like these new ones?
Of course you can continue to earn IPs as designed in the Interest Projects for Girls 11-17 book; however, you can
choose to complete them in a manner similar to the one used in these IPs instead:
•        Do two "Skill Builders" activities of your choice.
•        Do two activities of your choice from the four categories (selected activities can't be from the same category).
•        Design and do one goal of your own (must be a SMART goal).
•        Prepare a short REFLECTION describing what part(s) of the Promise and Law relates to what you did while earning
the IP.
