Girls should know what to do and where to go, so have a meeting prior to Camp Camelot. Be positive. Girls will reflect your attitude. If you are negative, you can count on them to be negative, also.

31. H AVE FUN!! Listen to the girls. It will give you ideas, insight, help you to know and understand them better, and create a caring atmosphere.
