This course takes you through the Girl Scout mission, pathway options, support, resources and the three leadership keys of the Girl Scout program. Take the virtual online course from home, your local library, regional office or contact the volunteer services manager in your region for other options.
Leadership EssentialsLeadership Essentials is just what the name implies, the essential ingredients for facilitating the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Direct service volunteers will learn how to guide groups in one or more pathways using the new Girl Scout Journeys, volunteer guides and existing grade-level resources. They will also learn how to apply the three leadership keys–Discover, Connect and Take Action–to all Girl Scout activities. This course is offered every month in all regions of the council, check the course schedules for a time and location convenient for you.
Introduction to Troop ManagementIntroduction to Troop Management offers new troop leaders the information they need to begin meeting with their troop. It includes information on the parent meeting, setting up a troop checking account, using Leader-Wise, Safety-Wise and council forms. Introduction to Troop Management sessions are arranged and scheduled with all new leaders by a council staff member or service unit volunteer. In some regions they are offered in combination with the Leadership Essentials course.
Direct service volunteers (at least one in each troop or group) need to complete the Orientation, Leadership Essentials and the Introduction to Troop Management session within the first three months of accepting their volunteer position.
