When camp counselors Kathleen Crocker, 21, and Victoria Carroll, 22, attended the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Wilderness First Aid class at the end of June, they never thought they would actually have to put those lessons into practice. But when an elderly man showed up at Camp Azalea Trails this month, seeking help for his comatose son, the girls' skills were put to the ultimate test. The man, who appeared to be in his late 50s, had been on a 12 hour hike with his 27-year-old son on the Seven Pines Trail in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild. Towards the top of the mountain the son, a Type 1 diabetic , began feeling ill and short of breath. Soon after, he lost consciousness and fell into a diabetic coma.

One thing most folks think they know for sure: When you're a Girl Scout, you have to sell. It turns out that Girl Scouts participate in the Girl Scout Entrepreneurial Program; they don't just sell. Each year the girls are offered a chance to participate in a Fall Products Sale and the Cookie Program. Each sale teaches girls invaluable life skills: sales and marketing, public relations, goal-setting, money management, communications, commitment and community service. Summed up, life is selling --a fact every one comes to know, but one that more and more kids don't realize until after college.GSSGC

(Courtesy photo) Staff at Camp Azalea Trails put their first-aid training into practice this month. Counselors Kathleen Crocker and Victoria Carroll, assistant camp director Jennifer Thomsian and camp nurse Christina Abraham worked together to stabilize a 27-year-old man who had fallen into a diabetic coma two miles from the camp in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild. The man's father had carried him for hours after he began feeling ill, Carroll said. He finally left him about two miles from the camp and sought help.
