TRAINING CALENDAR

GIRL SCOUTS OF GREATER CHICAGO AND NORTHWEST INDIANA “The Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana strive to develop each person’s ability to effectively perform her or his assignment(s) in the Girl Scouts. In pursuit of this endeavor, orientation and/or training for all volunteer assignments is provided.

A volunteer is expected to participate in any training necessary for her or his position.

Failure to complete training programs may be a basis for release or cause for nonreappointment to the current position.

At least one adult in a leadership role must complete position orientation before the first assignment. At least one registered adult in a leadership role must complete appropriate training before or within twelve weeks of the first meeting.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why do I need training?

Because it all begins with you! Our volunteers are the heart and soul of Girl Scouting, and we know you are taking time out of your busy schedule to lend your talents to girls who participate in Girl Scouting.

By participating in required training, you will have the necessary tools to help girls discover, connect, and take action to become tomorrow’s leaders. These concepts are the three keys to leadership, the backbone of our Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Training will strengthen your understanding of the Girl Scout Movement and your commitment as a volunteer. It will enable you to feel more comfortable in your position, ensuring that both you and the girls you mentor will have a rewarding and purposeful experience.

Must I register for Girl Scout training events?

Yes, pre-registration is required for Girl Scout trainings. Some sessions fill quickly. Early registration is encouraged.

How far in advance must I register for a training?

For most training sessions, registration closes five days before the date of the training. The deadlines ensure that our volunteer trainers are ready and prepared for the participants who will be attending and guarantee that all site logistics and materials are in place.

• Blended Learning First-Aider registration closes 10 days prior to the date of the skills session in order to allow you time to complete the online portion of the training prior to attending your skills session.

How do I register?

Registration is as easy as one, two or three!

1. Online registration is available for most training sessions. If the course has a fee you can pay online by using a credit card number or bank account draft. Visit register.girlscoutsgcnwi.org . Key in the course code to be taken directly into the registration page.

LEADERS’ CONFERENCE WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS 10 a.m. Workshops Plant a Seed, Grow a Daisy: Strategies for Leaders - Daisies are the first seed of a growing girl’s adventure through Girl Scouting! This is where their journey begins. Engage girls to build Courage, Confidence and Character!

Highest Awards: Silver and Gold - Join us as we share coaching steps for leaders to assist girls to reach their highest awards that are rooted in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Through these earned awards, girls discover themselves, their values, explore the world with others locally and connect globally.

Widen the Circle: Strengthening Your Troop - Learn about this great opportunity for girls to engage other girls in their communities to join in the fun of Girl Scouting. Through this program, leaders will learn how to guide girls to plan, market, hold a recruiting event, register girls, and welcome them into their troop (or other troops)!

Turn It Around: Managing the Unwanted Behaviors - This is a great opportunity for you to recognize and resolve conflict amongst girls and how girls can be an instrument to stop bullying in their schools and communities.

11 a.m. Workshops Finding Joy in the Journey - Joy in the Journey we say! Would you enjoy learning how to work with the Girl Scout Journeys in a whole different way? Join in our mission to help you engage girls in the Journeys from a different perspective!

12 p.m. Lunch and Table Talk Discussion Mix it up! Take this opportunity to mingle with people who have similar interests and share your ideas and Girl Scout success stories. Check the signs at each table to determine which group you would like to join.

1:15 p.m. Workshops Join us outside for some “Frosty Fun” (activities will be announced at lunch) or stay inside and have “Fun with Food,” where you will learn some fun ideas for snack “crafts”.

2 p.m. Workshops Songs and Stories to Keep Them Engaged - In this workshop you will learn techniques for leading songs and have an opportunity to sing old and new favorite Girl Scout songs. Story-telling is a great way to grab the girls’ attention, fill in unplanned down time, and connect messages between activities. Come learn the basics of great story-telling.

Journeys through Science - This workshop session will explore the skills in the Journeys books, process skills involved in Science, and how the two can support one another. The Journeys can be MAGIC! “Who You Gonna’ Call?” Engaging Parents to Be Involved: - The old saying goes: “Many hands make light work”. When your parents are involved EVERYONE WINS. The girls get more adult mentors, parents get more experiences with their daughters, and you get help in getting things done. How do you do this? Attend this session and find out!

Taking Troop Meetings to a New Level - What are the “secrets” to a great troop meeting? In this session, you will discover new techniques for making meeting planning fun and effortless as well as how to maintain that balance of new experiences and the familiar.

3 p.m. Workshops Playing Around: Game-Time Fun for Everyone - Learn tips and tricks that will help you successfully lead all kinds of games with girls while you play some active games, quiet games and non-competitive games.

Celebrating Our Sisterhood: WAGGGS, Ceremonies, and Traditions - Girl Scouting has a rich connection to Girl Guides around the world as well as an abundant history of traditions to honor girls all along their journey and stay connected with local, national, and global communities. Learn and share how these can enrich the experience for you and your girls.

Getting Along: Resolving Adult Conflicts - When adults don’t get along, everyone in the troop can be affected. Learn and practice some basic techniques for guiding people of all ages through their disagreements and into a positive and productive environment.

Beyond Girl Scouts: Transferring Your Skills to Employment - Identify the skills you have learned and are developing as a Girl Scout volunteer and how these skills can transfer to a job résumé and work environment.
