What Training to Take and When You might wonder why leaders have to be trained before starting a troop. The answer to this question is simple-- it is a "Safety-Wise" and Council policy. All volunteers need to be trained for their positions in Girl Scouting. If you accept a position with our council then you will be asked to attend training. We want you to be a confident volunteer. Your Girl Scout education should begin with an Orientation from your Membership Executive or appointed service unit volunteer.
