  Adult Training  
  • Pre-registration is required for all training sessions.
  • You need to be a registered member of Girl Scouts of the USA.
  • If you are an adult volunteer working directly with girls you must complete the following three steps within six months of taking over a new troop:
    1. Attend Orientation in your service unit presented by an orientation specialist or complete the self study.
    2. Attend Girl Scout Basics presented by a council trainer or complete the self study.
    3. Attend Program Age-Level training presented by a council trainer or complete the self study.
Registration
Fees are charged for outdoor and safety training, however they are kept as low as possible. Payment must accompany registration form, therefore registration must be faxed or mailed. Online registration allows you to print the form after filling it out and has our mailing address and fax number listed. For courses that do not require payment (Girl Scout Basics, program age-level leader training and service unit training), the online registration form may be emailed. To register for training click on the course number of the desired course which will automatically link to the registration form. Registration will not be accepted by phone.

You will receive a confirmation for any training that you register for. It will be sent by email acknowledging your registration and including any pertinent information you might need regarding the training. If you do not have an email address, we will send via regular mail.

Cancellations
  • Please call (763) 971-4057 to cancel your registration if you are unable to attend a session. There is a waiting list for full sessions.
  • Registered participants will be notified if a class is cancelled or changed.
  • Registration can be transferred to another session if the council cancels or changes a course, or if you cancel out of a course at least three days before the session is held.
  • If you are unable to attend, you may send another qualified participant in your place without losing the course fee.
Refunds
Refunds will be made if notice is given at least three days prior to the session unless materials and equipment have already been purchased. Refunds may be given with less notice if the space can be filled from the waiting list.

The training department may cancel a session if too few people register, for unsafe weather, or for inability to provide a trainer. Refunds will be made under these conditions.

Payment and Financial Assistance
Fees may be paid by personal or troop check made payable to GSCGM or by credit card. We accept Visa and MasterCard.

It is appropriate to use troop funds to pay for course fees if the training is a requirement for the activities the troop has planned.

Financial assistance is available to help with training costs. Please refer to the Council Resource Guide for directions or click on "Forms" for a financial aid application.
  • A training registration form for the session needs to accompany the financial assistance application.
