TRAINING CALENDAR

GIRL SCOUTS OF GREATER CHICAGO AND NORTHWEST INDIANA “The Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana strive to develop each person’s ability to effectively perform her or his assignment(s) in the Girl Scouts. In pursuit of this endeavor, orientation and/or training for all volunteer assignments is provided. A volunteer is expected to participate in any training necessary for her or his position. Failure to complete training programs may be a basis for release or cause for non-reappointment to the current position. At least one adult in a leadership role must complete position orientation before the first assignment. At least one registered adult in a leadership role must complete appropriate training before or within twelve weeks of the first meeting.” Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana Volunteer Policies Approved May 10, 2011

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why do I need training? Because it all begins with you! Our volunteers are the heart and soul of Girl Scouting, and we know you are taking time out of your busy schedule to lend your talents to girls who participate in Girl Scouting. By participating in required trainings, you will have the necessary tools to help girls discover, connect and take action to become tomorrow’s leaders. These concepts are the three keys to leadership, the backbone of our Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Training will strengthen your understanding of the Girl Scout movement and your commitment as a volunteer. It will enable you to feel more comfortable in your position, ensuring that both you and the girls you mentor will have a rewarding and purposeful experience. Must I register for Girl Scout training events? Yes, pre-registration is required for all Girl Scout trainings. Some sessions fill quickly. Early registration is encouraged. How far in advance must I register for trainings? For most training sessions, registration closes 5 days before the date of the training. The deadlines ensure that our volunteer trainers are ready and prepared for the participants who will be attending and guarantee that all logistics and materials are in place • Blended Learning First-Aider Registration closes 14 days prior to the date of the skills session in order to allow you time to complete the online portion of the training prior to attending your skills session. • Webinar Registrations close one week prior to the date of your training session in order to receive log in information, allow you time to to check your computer for necessary software programs, and complete any precourse assignments. How do I register? Registration is as easy as 1 or 2 or 3! 1. Online registration is available for most training sessions.

You may cancel or transfer your registration by fax, phone, mail or e-mail. Refunds for classes requiring payment will be given only if you cancel prior to the listed deadline. How will I be notified if a course is canceled? Courses may be canceled due to no/low registration by the deadline date, inclement weather, or other emergencies. You will be notified by e-mail or phone if a course is canceled due to low registration. In the case of inclement weather or other emergencies, you will be notified by telephone. NOTE: Only those registered for a course can be notified if it is canceled. None of the dates and times work for me, can I request a special training session? Yes. Gather a group of eight or more people who will attend the training; submit the completed Training by Request form found in this Training Calendar along with course fees if applicable to your regional manager of adult development. We will make every effort to accommodate your request. I know a great place in my community to hold trainings, how do I recommend a location? Contact your regional manager of adult development by phone or e-mail with all of the site details and contact information for the location you’re recommending. May I bring children to the training event? We cannot accommodate children at training events due to insurance considerations.
