Council-sponsored training classes are one of the greatest resources available to Girl Scout volunteers. Most classes are free; some include a nominal fee to pay for materials. Some trainings are offered on-line or in a self-paced learning format. Whether you’re looking for art/craft ideas, or are planning a backpacking trip for your troop/group and you want to be First Aid Level II qualified, Girl Scouts offers exceptional training to help with your preparation.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has developed girl handbooks and leader guides for the various Girl Scout program age levels (e.g., Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts). The handbooks outline program requirements and suggest activities girls can do to obtain their petals, Try-Its, badges, interest projects. The leader guides discuss what to expect from a particular age group and give suggestions on working with girls of that program level. For more information click here.
