ONLINE TRAINING

Online training is an easy, convenient way to learn about Girl Scouts and it’s available for any registered member or volunteer.

On the main website, in the upper left, you’ll see MyGS, there will be a drop down for Volunteer Toolkit. Or you can use the “sign in” underneath the “shop” link. Enter your username (Girl Scout email) and password. If you don’t remember your password, send an email to customercare@gssgc.org requesting your password be reset.

Once you’re logged in, select gsLearn on the right side of the page. When your dashboard opens up, click on “content library”, then “courses”.

Train the Trainer

Are you passionate about the outdoors or leadership development? Do you have tips and tricks from years of Girl Scouting that you would like to share with other leaders? If this sounds like you – and you’re ready for a new challenge with Girl Scouts – consider becoming a trainer. Trainers collaborate with staff and other trainers to develop and deliver trainings that support the next generation of leaders and adult volunteers who help build girls of courage, confidence and character.

As a volunteer organization, we are in need of trainers to help provide the most accurate information to new volunteers taking on the leadership role, current volunteers wanting more experience and older girls wanting to learn additional leadership skills. We also need volunteers willing to assist our council in making sure we are keeping our trainings current and relevant to the needs of our membership. If you love Girl Scouting, this is a great way to volunteer. Trainers are needed in all areas of the Council (especially more rural areas) to bring training closer to each Girl Scout service unit. Trainers are adults who work effectively with other adults and/or older girls; serve as role models for adult volunteers; are dedicated to and support the principles of Girl Scouting; like a flexible Girl Scout commitment; are responsible, dependable and follow through on their commitments. If you would like to become a Council trainer register for this session of Training for Trainers.

Training Costs

While San Gorgonio has a lot of our trainings available online, we’ll never stop offering live trainings, whether it be in-person or live virtual classes. We feel that the opportunity to have face-to-face training and the ability to network with like-minded volunteers can never be completely replaced.

We also value the time of our staff and our exceptional volunteer training team. Scheduling, organizing, confirming and preparing for in-person classes takes time for both the Council staff and the volunteer trainer.

Imagine how disappointing it is to have a class with 15-18 participants registered and only 4-5 show up. This is happening more and more frequently. We understand that life happens and sometimes interferes with our best laid plans, but with proper notification, prior to the day of the class, your registration can be transferred to another class at a more convenient date. Effective October 1, 2020, for live in-person or virtual classes where a participant chooses to “not show up”, the troop account will be swept (ACH withdrawal) by Council for each absent person in the amount of $5.00 per person.
