important update:  The Creating an Inclusive Culture in Girl Scouting course is no longer a required training.  However, because the content of this course is so vital to the success of the girls' experience, you are encouraged to participate in this training.  Also, leaders who were non-compliant due to not completing the Creating an Inclusive Culture in Girl Scouting course, are now compliant effective May 2008.

All new leaders are required to complete their training within 6 months:  Orientation to the Girl Scout organization and age level training.
      Training is available 3 ways: 

  1. Classroom Setting (see dates below)

Leaders:  Do you have a new leader in your troop this year?  If they are registered as an 01 or 02 - they are a troop leader and must complete the application and background check.  They must also complete the two required trainings (Girl Scouts FUNdamentals-Orientation to the Organization and  Age-level) within 6 months of appointment.  A new leader will receive an appointment letter from the Girl Scout office once they have successfully completed the application/background check.  If you are working with a new leader - please ask them if they have completed the application/background check process and are working on completing their required training.

HELP PROTECT OUR GIRL SCOUTS!  

As you know, Great Rivers Council is committed to providing a safe and quality program for girls in our community as they participate in the Girl Scout program. And to continue our commitment to safety, we’d like to remind all volunteers to help us keep our Girl Scouts safe. Don’t forget to complete your criminal history background check. At this time, all volunteers only have to complete the background check once. The best option to complete your background check is online at http://backgroundcheck.grgsc.org where your information is transmitted over a secure site. If you do not have a home computer, the website can be accessed from any public library and the information will still be transmitted securely. To maximize the security of your personal information, please ensure you completely log off the library computer after completing the background check.     

If you do not have access to a computer, please contact the volunteer human resources manager, Linda Wilkinson at 513-489-1025 ext.140 or 1-800-537-6241 to receive the paperwork to send your information directly to Intellicorp by mail or by fax. If you have received a yellow confirmation postcard or completed your volunteer application after September 2004, then you have already completed your background check. And please remember, at this time, all volunteers only have to complete the background check once.  

Please help us to show our continued commitment to girls’ safety and complete your background check right away!
