GSCM offers a range of courses to help prepare and train you in your
role as a Girl Scout Volunteer. Our goal is to provide girls with the
best possible program in a safe environment and to provide adult
volunteers with the training necessary to ensure excellent programming
for our girls and their safety and protection. To do that, we require
Girl Scout Leaders and Advisors to complete training within six months
of their appointment. When you begin as a volunteer, your Service
Unit Manager or Membership and Community Development Specialist will
host a welcome session to give you information specific to your
geographical area.
For an overview of training program, please read our Volunteer Training Overview.
Training on Your Schedule
Our volunteers lead busy lives and fitting volunteer training into
your schedule can be a challenge. Our classroom courses offer the
opportunity for hands on activities and sharing with other leaders,
but we do realize that not everyone is able to attend, so we offer and
are developing alternatives to help you get the training you need at a
time that fits your schedule.
GSCM provides a Home Study option for our Girl Scout Daisy, Brownie,
Junior and Teen courses. Girl Scouting 101 and Introduction to Girl
Scout Leadership are also self-studies you can complete on your own time.

When using Online Registration, here are some tips to help you find
the courses you are looking for.
1. After logging in to Online Registration, choose the
Activities Tab in the upper left section of the page. This will bring
up a drop down menu.
2. If you’re looking for a listing of all adult trainings,
check the box Learning and Training. If you’re looking specifically
for First Aid or Outdoor training, you may just select those boxes
under the main category of Learning and Training.
3. Only Grade Level and First Aid Training can be further
narrowed down by county if you want to see what’s available in a
specific area.
4. Once you have the list of trainings, sorting current to
future will give you a chronological listing. Home studies and Girl
Scouting 101 will be listed first since they are ongoing throughout
the year.
5. Please be sure your current email is on file so you will
receive the automatic confirmations.
Please note: Registration closes one week before the course. If you
have to cancel out of a course, please be sure to notify us as soon as
possible so that anyone on a waiting list can be offered the spot. To
receive the quickest confirmation, please provide your email address.
You will receive confirmation a week before the class. If a course is
