🌿 GROW YOUR GIRL SCOUT SKILLS THIS FALL! 🌿
Hey, Fossil Valley Girl Scout Leaders, Caregivers & Parents! 💚💜
Want to feel more confident helping your troop get outdoors, go camping, try new adventures, or simply be that extra adult your troop can count on? Fall is a great time to get trained! 🙌
We have a variety of Girl Scout adult trainings happening this fall—from the essential CPR/First Aid and camping trainings to some really fun specialty opportunities like Archery, Lifeguarding, Small Craft Safety, Open Water, and Wilderness training! 🏕️🏹🛶
And here's the big one: Parents and caregivers can take these trainings too! 👏
Having additional trained adults within your troop means more flexibility when planning adventures, camping trips, and activities. It also gives your troop a bigger team of people who are ready to jump in and help when needed. You don't have to be the Troop Leader to become a trained Girl Scout volunteer! 💚

👉 You can register for trainings through the GSWCF website under Events.
Leaders: We strongly encourage you to take the trainings required for your troop's activities.
Parents/Caregivers: Consider taking one of the "extras" too! You never know when your troop might need another trained adult—and having more trained adults means more opportunities for our girls. 💚
Let's build a strong team of volunteers who are ready to say:
"YES! We can do that!" 🙌🏕️🛶🏹
