Thanks to Jinny Haines, our volunteer in charge of ICAN, for writing this post about her very successful adult training weekend!
ICAN Conference 2012 checked all the boxes for success:
74 leaders came to learn new skills, remember Girl Scout traditions and network
with each other.

ICAN offered 24 workshops, covering everything from
beginning backpacking to lashing to conflict resolution. The big
favorite is always the Crafts workshop, and this year the leaders were excited
about the Girl-Led Ceremonies workshop.
Our Saturday night campfire was full of laughter, songs
and games. Our emcee, “Miss Canada,” hosted team competitions that included the
sleeping bag roll and the cotton ball carry. The winning team took home the
fabulous trophy, “The TP Cup.”
Leaders who attended gave strong positive feedback:
“Loved it wish it was twice a year.”
“Very rich place to connect with others – very
empowering, motivating and making me feel successful.”
“This was my first I CAN. It was awesome and I look
forward to coming back.”
And best of all, “I learned new things that I can take
back to my girls, made new friendships and shared Girl Scout values.”
