Training for Volunteers
Training for Volunteers
As a Girl Scout volunteer, you play an important role in preparing girls for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure. GSU’s volunteer training equips volunteers with the knowledge and confidence necessary to carry out meaningful Girl Scout programs.
Similar to the Girl Scout program, training for volunteers is a progression. Start with basics for all volunteers then tackle additional trainings as needed to deliver the GSLE. Download the training progression (PDF) for a visual guide.
Training is offered via gsLearn (accessed through myGS), as well as in-person and virtually. Search upcoming training opportunities on the Activities Calendar or log in to myGS. For assistance, contact Customer Care.

Leader Training & Development Patch Program
Volunteers can earn our new Leader Training & Development Achievement patches just by completing various troop leader trainings!
Earn your center patch with the New Leader Onboarding Learning Path (new leaders) or GSU Refresh (seasoned volunteers). Then dive into specific topics, like Troop Finance or Small Watercraft, to capture the different segment patches to display proudly on your leader vest.
The center patch and corresponding segments are provided at no charge to volunteers. Simply complete the training(s) and we’ll coordinate patch delivery at your next service unit meeting or, for outlying areas, via mail.
