Continuing Education All adults who work on a continuing basis with girls are strongly encouraged to participate in continuing education. Before, or at the time a group in the Troop Pathway is preparing to bridge to a new level, continuing education of at least one of the adults is strongly encouraged. Any course and/or training opportunity which focuses on how to work with girls at the next Girl Scout grade level can fulfill this purpose.
The Girl Scout program is delivered through various Pathways. (GSUSA Pathways include: Troop, Series, Travel, Camping, Events and Virtual). Regardless of Pathway, all adults must satisfactorily complete appropriate education in the courses listed above before working with girls. If you would like to volunteer for a Pathway outside of the Troop Pathway, please contact your volunteer services specialist for more information. Recommended Courses for all Pathways Grade Level Courses Camp In A & B Required Courses for Non Troop Pathways Girl Scouting 101 Pathway Orientation First Aid/CPR* (at least Level 1) *At least one leader is required to have First Aid/CPR, or can currently be a Health Care Provider. Course Attendance Adult Education courses are open to all registered adults. Ambassador girls who are working on Volunteer-in-Training (VIT) may attend appropriate courses. Please do not bring children to workshops unless childcare is specially noted. This is for your child’s safety and the consideration of those in attendance. Registration Process Pre-registration for all courses is required. Online registration is now available for most training classes.

Fees Most courses are provided as a service of the council. When a fee is charged, it must be sent in with the registration form or financial assistance application. See Resource Sheet #526 on www.gskentuckiana.org for financial assistance application. Fees for council cancelled courses are refundable or transferable. Fees for courses which are held, but which you do not attend, are forfeited. Refunds are available for cancellations due to medical reasons, personal injury, or death in the family. Registration Notification Mark your calendar for the day, time and place of the courses for which you register! For courses that offer online registration, you will receive an automated confirmation. If the workshop is full, cancelled, or changed in any way, you will be notified. If the minimum number is not met, the workshop will be cancelled. Cancellation Procedure Please call to cancel your registration. This is a courtesy to the volunteer trainers who prepare for the number of people who are registered. Please call your Program and Learning Center 24 hours prior to the event to cancel your registration. Tracking Trainings At Troop Pathway Orientation, you will receive a wallet-sized card for recording each course you attend. It is important that you retain your card to verify the courses you have attended. GSK keeps records of all completed training courses. What to bring to class? Always bring note-taking materials. If possible (though it is not required), bring your Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting , Journey book set, Volunteer Essentials, Safety Activity Checkpoints, Adult Education Training Card, and items listed for the particular course you are taking. A Journey book set will be given to new troop leaders when they take the appropriate grade level training (one per troop). 5
