Optional Online Learning Courses

The following courses, created for the legacy council, Girl Scouts of Santa Clara County, have not yet been updated to reflect some changes in the Girl Scout program and council procedures. However, they contain a lot of great information and might prove to be very helpful. Note that these courses are no longer required courses, but contain some great information. Where the information in Daisy Leadership, Brownie Leadership or Junior Leadership differs from information in the Core Leadership Courses or the Council Resource Guide, the information in the Core Leadership Courses or the Council Resource Guide should be considered the correct information.

Note: If you choose to start the course and come back later to continue it, the percentage you have completed for these grade level courses will not be tracked on this page as it is with the other courses above. However, your place will be saved, and you will be able to resume where you left off. In addition, once you’ve finished one of the grade level courses below and passed the final exam, your score will be recorded in your official membership record, but it will not be recorded on this page.
