Many opportunities are offered for volunteers through GSSC’s Training courses. Many of these courses are mandatory for both new and veteran leaders. Following is a brief description of some of the Training courses and how they will help you as you begin or continue your tenure in Girl Scouts.
To register for Trainings, please click here.
In order to provide the proper space, materials and trainers, it is imperative that you register for any training you are planning on attending. Wherever possible, on-line registration is preferred.
How do I become a Girl Scout leader or
volunteer?
• Send an email training@gssc.us expressing your
interest in becoming a leader. You will then be
contacted by a staff member on how to complete
the online application, submit references, and
complete a background check prior to your
appointment.
• Once your background check and references are
cleared, your information will be sent to your local
Service Unit. You will then be appointed as a leader
by the local Service Unit Coordinator. Note: Girl Scout
volunteers may be appointed by either the Service Unit or
Girl Scouts of Suffolk County council.
Which trainings are required for new leaders?
• New leaders and co-leaders are required to
complete Orientation training prior to working with
a troop.
• Journey to the GSLE (by level) must be completed
prior to or within 3 months of working with a troop.
When bridging to the next level, or moving to a
different level, please register for the Journey to the
GSLE for the level you will be working with.
