New Leader Basics Training

In order to build our girls into great leaders, we have to start with ourselves! Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas offers virtual and in-person training to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver fun, safe, and meaningful Girl Scout experiences to the girls in your troop.

Sign up to a training today and make a difference tomorrow!

New troop leaders are required to complete the New Leader Basics training prior to meeting with the troop.

Training Handouts

First Aid/CPR

CPR/AED and First Aid: A first-aider is an adult volunteer who has taken Girl Scout-approved first-aid and CPR training that includes specific instructions for child CPR. All troop meeting and troop activities must have at least one adult volunteer in attendance that is first-aid/CPR-certified.

The following health care providers may serve as Girl Scout First-Aiders if they hold current CPR certification: physician, physician's assistant, dentist, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, paramedic, military medic, or emergency medical technician. Note: First Aid/CPR classes completed entirely online do not satisfy Girl Scout requirements for certification and do not offer enough opportunity to practice and receive feedback on technique.

Enrichment Workshops

Looking to learn more about an aspect of Girl Scouting? Let’s do it! Our Enrichment Workshops held at our Volunteer Conferences and offer workshops on badges, songs, crafts, ceremonies and bridging, games and more. See when Volunteer Conferences are scheduled.
