Why Take Training?

Adult volunteers are the key to the success of the Girl Scout Movement. Girl Scouts of Central Illinois provides learning opportunities to adult members as part of its commitment to girls. To ensure that volunteers gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to successfully deliver a meaningful and safe Girl Scout Leadership Experience, various learning courses are offered throughout the year. All courses are designed to enhance and develop your knowledge and skills.

In order to meet a variety of needs in terms of schedule and preferred learning method, classes are available in several formats: on-line, in-person, and/or home study.
