Core Leadership
Core Leadership Series
There must be at least one adult in attendance at every troop/group meeting or outing who has completed Girl Scouting 101, Staying Safe, and Girl Scout Program). These courses must be taken prior to meeting with girls. We recommend that as many adults as possible take all core leadership series courses, as this will really enhance the effectiveness of the group. Three Processes One Powerful Program and Leadership Essentials are also highly recommended for your adult leadership team.
