Online Classes for New Troop Leaders Now Available

Attention new troop leaders! Now you can get much of the training you need to get started with a new troop right from the comfort of your own home. Two new online classes have just been added to the Council website at gsccc.org: Welcome to Colonial Coast and Getting Your Troop Started.

Together, these classes will introduce you to resources available at Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast and help you through your first steps of starting a new troop.

If you’re a new troop leader, you’ll need to follow these steps:
  1. Visit http://ebiz.gsccc.org to create a membership account and become a registered member ($15 annual dues).
  2. Complete the volunteer application and screening process, which includes a background check.
  3. Complete new leader online classes in this order:
    • Girl Scouting 101
    • Welcome to Colonial Coast
    • Getting Your Troop Started
    These classes can be accessed here.
  4. Have an informational session with your service unit volunteer coordinator. If you don’t know who that is, fill out this short questionnaire and we will contact you as soon as possible.
