In order to ensure that volunteers gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to successfully deliver a meaningful and safe Girl Scout experience, various training courses are offered throughout the year.
Inside the
Training Schedule you’ll find courses for the leader, troop organizer, service unit coordinator, camp person, first-aider, and council trainer. All courses are designed to enhance and develop your knowledge, skills, abilities, and enthusiasm for Girl Scouting.
"Every volunteer in Girl Scouting must be willing and able to participate in orientation and/or training for the assignment.
Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana strives to develop each person’s ability to effectively perform her or his assignment(s) in the Girl Scouts. In pursuit of this endeavor, orientation and/or training for all volunteer assignments is provided. At least one adult in a leadership role in every troop/group must complete all basic leadership modules appropriate to the age level, as soon as possible, but no later than three months after the volunteer has been appointed.
Training is available on many levels, and is designed to meet the ongoing needs of the volunteers as they develop and grow in their volunteer assignments. Volunteers should take advantage of these opportunities. In addition to council training, with council authorization, volunteers may seek training offered by GSUSA."
Volunteer Policy
To ensure positive learning experiences tailored to the learning styles of each unique adult, Girl Scouts offers volunteers a variety of training options, including classroom settings, online training, and home studies. Each of these options is detailed in the Training Schedule.
