Registration and Background Check:

The best way to start is to contact our placement specialist  Michelle Tieskie MTieskie@girlscoutsww.org . You'll let her know of your interest in starting a new troop and she'll help you get registered and background checked. She'll walk you through all of the next steps. When in doubt, remember to reach out to Kristen and Marika for help too.

New Leader Training

Most of your initial training will be online. These are mostly in the form of video presentations and slides. Our recommendation is to tackle these in bite sized chunks and reach out to us for clarification as needed.
