Required Volunteer Training 
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our girls.
GSUSA's Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Course is required for all adults who work or volunteer with Girl Scouts. (You must be logged into gsLearn in your MYGS account prior to clicking the course link above.)
Child abuse and neglect are difficult subjects to think about, yet the prevention of abuse is a topic Girl Scouts takes very seriously. This training prepares supervising adults of Girl Scout youth to recognize, respond to, and report concerns of child abuse and neglect. Additionally, supervising adults will be empowered to prevent abuse by learning Girl Scout recommended practices, policies and procedures. Girl Scout practices, policies and procedures are proactive measures designed to prevent abusers from interacting with Girl Scouts to foster a safe space for children to thrive.
