| Adult volunteers are the key to the success of the Girl Scout Movement. Trained volunteers who understand the Girl Scout leadership development program provide girls with fun, safe, and quality experiences, as well as an opportunity to develop into successful leaders.
All volunteers are required to attend training. By taking training, you will receive the tools to help girls grow strong. Our courses will help to make your job easier and enable you to feel more comfortable in your position. And, these courses are FUN! Our team of nearly 75 dedicated volunteer trainers enables us to offer numerous courses in a variety of locations around the Council.
To ensure that each girl gets the MOST out of her Girl Scout experience, Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma provides training for all volunteers. Whether you are an administrative volunteer, leader, co-leader, assistant leader, or occasional volunteer, we have something to make this journey into Girl Scouting more enjoyable for you AND the girls!

What training should a new troop leader take?
- All new Girl Scout volunteers are required to complete our Orientation, now available online. Instructions for completing this can be found in the Adult Training Catalog portion of Connections.
- After the Orientation is completed, troop leaders then need to register for and attend Leadership Essentials. This three-hour training will provide you with everything you need to start meeting with your girls.
- When you are ready to take your girls on field trips, it’s time for Beyond the Meeting. This training will prepare you to plan and carry out trips and travel with your girls and help you become familiar with policies, paperwork and procedures.
- After that, there are many more choices. You can attend Troop Camper Training to take your girls camping. There is First Aid training for times when they are needed. Enrichment classes such as songs, games, ceremonies, canoeing and archery will help you provide even more opportunities to your girls.
For volunteers serving in other positions, please discuss your specific training needs with your Council representative.
