NEW: GS Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Training Now Available for Volunteers
|
The Girl Scout Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention national training is now available on gsLearn , developed in response to sexual abuse and molestation (SAM) prevention training becoming an insurance requirement for youth-serving organizations. Thanks to Girl Scouts of Greater LA, who created their own training for the state of California, and with guidance from Palmer & Cay, we are pleased to offer a training program for councils.
The Girl Scout Abuse and Neglect prevention training—including policies, practices, and procedures—is available at no cost to volunteers and takes approximately 50 minutes to complete. The training will be assigned to you in gsLearn.
In order for you to be able to complete this training (and any future training), we need you to log in to your myGS account.
Keep in mind:
• You should be able to access your training library within a few days of signing-in.
• The gsLearn tab can be found at the bottom of the column to the left of your account home screen.
• Even if you have logged in and completed some training already, it's good to check your account every so often as new training may have been assigned to you!
• If you are having trouble logging in, please reach out to us at 800-474-1912.

Consolidation of Council Retail Shops
|
|
You should have received an e-mail earlier this week which announced some changes to our retail shops. We have consolidated the three retail shops to one site located inside the Knoxville Leadership Center. We envision that items will still be available at the Chattanooga and Johnson City Leadership Centers which can either be shipped or picked up by appointment. We also plan to have more pop-up shops in every area like what we offered at this year’s cookie distributions.
Starting July 10, all three shop locations will close in order to prepare for the annual July inventory. The Chattanooga and Johnson City retail shops will not reopen when inventory is completed. The Knoxville retail shop will reopen in late July and will serve as the hub for all your retail needs.
Be on the lookout for more specific details about ordering options for the Chattanooga and Johnson City locations. We will send out a communication when these plans are worked out. If you have questions, please call our Customer Care team at 1-800-474-1912.
Open Shop Saturdays
No Open Shop Saturday in July due to inventory taking place. Stay tuned for August's Saturday schedule.
