Welcome New Leader Training
This quick 30-minute session provides an overview of what it means to be a Troop Leader, ways to volunteer, how to get started as a Troop Leader, and live Q&A.
Leader Effectiveness Training (Online)
The introductory training sets the stage for your effectiveness as a leader. Beginning with a new leader orientation, this training will explore what girl scouts do, how to engage families, holding the first troop meeting, our online volunteer tool, and troop interpersonal leadership skills.
New Leader Cohort (Online)
In addition to the training, we invite all new leaders to join a cohort of others beginning the troop leadership journey at the same time. This group investigates the topics introduced in the online training more deeply as they come up during the troop year. This allows leaders just-in-time training on topics of value.
Specialty Training (Online and In person)
GSNCA periodically offers specialized training opportunities for our volunteers including, First Aid, CPR, Archery, Boating, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and other topics as desired.
Direct Mentoring (In person)
Feeling a little out of your depth? GSNCA can offer to provide direct mentoring for your first three meetings. Using this model, we will lead a meeting for you, plan and lead the second meeting with you, and then support you as you lead the final meeting.
JumpStart Resource (In person)
Feel like you’ve got it covered and don’t require direct mentoring? To jump right into volunteering, GSNCA is happy to provide a “Meeting-in-a-Bag” for your first four meetings.
