General Information about Training
We strongly encourage volunteers to take advantage of the fun workshop opportunities provided as enrichment classes or at adult events to enhance the program you provide to girls. 

• Classes that do not meet the minimum registration number on the deadline date (deadline is two weeks prior to the class date) will be canceled, and you will be notified.
• Workshop confirmation letters are emailed approximately two weeks before the class.
• To ensure the safety of our girls and volunteers, exact locations are not posted on this site. Please refer to the Lead On guide for location information. To-be-announced locations are provided to you with your confirmation. If you do not receive this information, please call the Training Registrar at 919-782-3021, ext. 3323 or 1-800-284-4475, ext. 3323. Times and locations are subject to change.
• Read your confirmation carefully. It may contain changes in location and/or time.
• Registrations may be accepted on or after the deadline date, contingent on space available. Please call the Training Registrar at 919-782-3021, ext. 3323 for late registration information.
• If you have not registered for an event, do not “drop-in”. Our volunteer Trainers want your training experience to be as pleasant as possible. Non-registered participants could cause overcrowding due to the space limitations of some facilities, and the necessary resources may not be available for those not registered.
• Please observe course schedules. Training is not complete if you leave early.

Changes or Cancellations

• If you must cancel your registration, please notify the council Training Registrar immediately. Some classes have waiting lists and, with notice, we may be able to fill your place in the workshop.
• Only those registered will be notified of class cancellations and time or location changes.
• When a class is canceled please re-register for another class by sending in a new registration form or by notifying the Training Registrar of your choice for a new workshop date.

Workshop Information

• Fees must be mailed with the registration form. If you fax a registration form, you may pay your fee by completing the credit card section on the form (there is a minimum charge of $7 required for credit card charges). No faxed or Internet registrations will be accepted without this information – no exceptions!
• Please make all checks and money orders payable to Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines, indicating the course number on your check. Fees may be paid by Visa or MasterCard (minimum charge $7).
• Refunds will be made only with four days prior notice of cancellation by the participant or if the class is full or canceled.

Volunteer Training Record Cards
A wallet-size “Volunteer Training Record Card” is available for each volunteer and is distributed at your Getting Started session. Each time you complete a workshop, your trainer will sign the card. These cards are quite useful for your own personal record, as background information when applying for the Girl Scouts of the USA Leadership Development Pin, and if you are a “Girl Scout on the Move” to another council.

Course Participant’s Workbook
When you attend a workshop, you will receive a participant booklet. This booklet contains information and program ideas about that particular session and is a great resource for the future.  If you are doing an online training, please download the workbook before taking the quiz.

No ON-SITE CHILDCARE
Due to the facilities and personnel available for our courses, we regret we cannot provide childcare. Children are not permitted in the sessions. We encourage you to secure a sitter, to check on community services, or to set up a reciprocal agreement with another Girl Scout adult.

Preparation
Have you planned in advance for carpooling, etc? Please plan to attend all sessions indicated. Please arrive on time and stay until the published ending time.

for All Leaders/Co-Leaders
Please note: a volunteer application must be completed and references returned prior to registering for workshops.

GSUSA on-line Orientation
An introduction to Girl Scouting and the Girl Scout Leadership Experience!
This is the first course in the volunteer development process. 

Volunteer essentials
This new resource has a Quick Start guide to volunteering in Girl Scouts. This course builds upon the GSUSA online orientation and Leadership Essentials (but can be taken in any order) and is an introduction to your local resources. The course also includes resources that address specific pathways of Girl Scouting, such as Troop Leadership Module. (Event and Series Modules will be available soon.) This course is necessary and beneficial for all adult volunteers providing program to girls. This includes leaders, co-leaders, administrative team members and event directors. To register, please contact your membership staff.

Additional Opportunities
(requirements vary)

Trip Planning with Girl Scouts
(Prerequisite: Leadership Essentials)

For any trip that does not require outdoor cooking or camping. This may be downloaded from our website.

Outdoor Skills

This class has two sessions, a planning session and an overnight.  Both sessions must be attended by the same person.  Outdoor skills and activities, Safety-Wise application, resources for daylong outdoor activities, and outdoor cooking experiences. IMPORTANT: The Outdoor Trained person is responsible for the six-week planning process in the Troop.  

Outdoor Skills Recertification
If you have taken Outdoor training more than 5 years ago, or in another Girl Scout Council, this session will bring you up to speed.


First Aid/CPR Training  

• Each Troop is required to have a certified adult who can render First Aid/CPR when camping and/or on trips.
• First Aid certification requirements vary by the authorizing organization. Both components must be current for certification to be valid.  

Enrichment Workshops 

• Examples: Badges and Signs, Songs, Crafts, Ceremonies, Bridging, Games, etc. These vary from county to county.
• Enrichment Workshops are a vital part of the development and learning experience of a leader. Our world is changing; therefore, our council provides opportunities for leaders to participate in enrichment workshops resulting in personal growth and new experiences in their own lives and in the lives of the girls. Parents, troop committees, and Girl Scout administrative volunteers are encouraged to take advantage of adult development opportunities.

 Earned Awards

• A volunteer development record card is presented to all adult volunteers upon completion of “Getting Started.” All future participation is recorded on this card; carry it with you.
• An Outdoor II Trained Patch is available upon completion of Outdoor II Overnight Training. There is no cost for this patch, which is available at the workshop.

• The Girl Scouts of the USA Leadership Development Pin is available to all Leaders, Co-Leaders, and Advisors completing the requirements. The Leadership Development Pin Application should be sent to: Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines, Attn.  Volunteer Services, 6901 Pinecrest Road, Raleigh, NC 27613. There is no charge for the pin or the leaves. There are additional requirements for earning leaves.

Exemption from Required Courses for Persons Moving to Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines from another Council

When a person moves her/his membership from another council to North Carolina Coastal Pines and has successfully completed training in the former council, it is required that the person receive information about our council procedures, council forms, and troop materials.  This occurs in “Getting Started”. At that time, the decision will be made if further training sessions are needed to develop skills, fulfill their responsibilities and familiarize themselves with North Carolina Coastal Pines. A copy of your training card must be sent to Volunteer Services for inclusion in our training database. (If a person moving from another council has completed outdoor training in the former council, she/he must meet with an experienced outdoor trainer to determine further training needs.) Call the the Volunteer Services team at 919-782-3021 or 1-800-284-4475, ext. 3336 if you have any questions.
