Training Opportunities
You want to see girls happy, confident, strong, and ready to succeed.
We want the same things for you as a volunteer! We know you’ve got a
lot of questions about Girl Scouts and we’re ready to help you along
the way. Your volunteer onboarding includes personal coaching, online
learning, and a searchable website to find what you need when you need
it.
Start your volunteer journey with online training
courses you can complete from home. Log into gsLearn from the MyGS tab
on our website menu. Other brief training courses cover troop
management tools, how to earn badges and awards, ensuring girl safety,
troop financial management, and more.
Special
certifications available include First Aider training for CPR/First
Aid/AED skills, Outdoor Education for campfire and outdoor cooking
safety, Cookie Program training for managing inventory and
recognitions, and Highest Awards training for coaching girls to earn
the most prestigious awards in Girl Scouting.
