Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital Education and Learning Support for Volunteers We appreciate your interest in adult education. Helping volunteers gain the information they need to be successful in their volunteer roles is a crucial part of our organization’s success. Through classes, roundtables, conference calls and one-on-one support sessions, our volunteer educators create fun opportunities for adults to learn new things, make friends and gain skills to support their volunteer work with girls and adults. The Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital (GSCNC) is one of over 100 member-councils of the Girl Scouts of the USA, headquartered in New York City. GSCNC serves over 90,000 girl and adult members in the entire Washington metropolitan region. This Adult Educator’s Manual, also known as Peach Pages, provides new and returning educators with the information needed to continue as, or to become trained and appointed as an educator, to set-up courses or other learning opportunities and to connect to our community of Adult Educators. If you have additional questions, please contact our Adult Volunteer Development (AVD) department at 800-523-7898, 202-237-1670, ext. 240 or avd@gscnc.org.
