Volunteer Essentials

 

Volunteer Essentials is a new resource for adult volunteers serving in any pathway. It offers information about Girl Scouts as a movement and a tradition, asks volunteers to assess their skills and competencies, discusses the GSLE and journeys, highlights other program offerings, shares information about healthy development in girls, instructs volunteers in how to keep girls safe, gives information on taking trips and hosting events, and tells volunteers how to help girls manage group finances, including general details on Girl Scout Cookie sales.

Safety-Wise / Safety Activity Checkpoints

The GSUSA Publications Safety-Wise published in 2000 and the insert Important Update effective September 2009 have been replaced by information found in Volunteer Essentials and the Safety Activity Checkpoints.  In Volunteer Essentials 2012 you will find updated information in the Quick Start Guide on 4-11 and Chapter 4 (see Volunteer Essential link at the top of this page).

Blue Book of Basic Documents

The Blue Book contains information regarding Girl Scouts of the USA's Constitution, by-laws and policies. 

Media and Publicity Kit Resources

To ensure that our council events get great coverage in our local communities, we've prepared a special media and publicity kit for volunteers to use with their local media. The council is actively working with many of the major media in broadcast and print for large-scale features, so volunteers are encouraged to generate as much local coverage as they can.

 

Forms

These forms can also be found in the 2012-13 Volunteer Essentials guide.
