Learning opportunities are organized by curriculum and age level. Please review the curriculum below to determine which course you’d like to take. There are three curriculum tracks: for Cadettes and Seniors/Teens, for adults who work with girls, and for adults who work with adults.

GSUSA Certified Instructors of Trainers
"I really enjoy sharing my enthusiasm of Girl Scouting! I had a great 12 years of Girl Scouting before I went to college and became a co-leader during my college years in Iowa. Girl Scouting has given me so many opportunities! Whether I am teaching firebuilding in Outdoor Education, discussing the Gold Award during Cadette and Senior Gateways, or demonstrating how adults learn in Train-the-Trainer, I can talk Girl Scouting! I love it!"
