At GSOSW, we strive to offer an adult training progression matching the girl progression experience. Our trainings are designed to offer adults insight on girl and adult readiness, and present ideas for how adults can teach girls skills in an empowering way.
Please note: Volunteers should contact their SU or GEM for current training information and requirements. The information below will be updated in April 2023.

CERTIFICATIONS:
For most Girl Scout meetings and activities at least one adult volunteer in attendance needs to be First Aid/CPR/AED certified for adults and children. If your troop is planning a trip where girls will be 30 minutes or more away from emergency services, we also require at least one adult attending the trip to be certified in Wilderness and Remote First Aid. GSOSW accepts certifications from most certifying bodies as long as the class includes an in-person component. You can either take a Red Cross class hosted by GSOSW or submit a copy of an existing certification through the GSOSW Certification Submission course in gsLearn.
REQUIRED TRAINING FOR TROOP TRAVEL/TRIPS:
Troops are required to have one attending adult with the following trainings in order to leave the meeting place or time. The GSOSW outdoor training progression is intended to be taken over an extended period of time, and should be pursued when girls are ready to plan such an activity. These trainings should be taken prior to the planning phase for the aforementioned travel.
Cancellation policy: Please see individual training event details for the corresponding cancellation policy, and contact answers@girlscoutsosw.org to request a cancellation, refund, or transfer.
Please note: Participants need to be present for an entire
course in order to receive credit for the training. Late arrival
participation will be determined by the trainer. GSOSW volunteer
trainings are adult, member-only events. Please make other
arrangements for your children.
