Professional Development
Welcome to the Girl Scouts professional development Web pages. For 100 years, the Girl Scouts has provided learning and development opportunities for volunteers. Today we continue in that tradition by offering high-impact programs through experiential, hands-on and technology-enhanced learning. At the Girl Scouts, we are committed to being the best leadership experience for girls. To that end, we offer a variety of programs in areas such as leadership and learning, asset management and executive development.
In the shaded column to the right, please find our full list of learning opportunities. For your convenience, we also answer common questions about registration, travel and accommodations, and provide forms for Edith Macy's guest accommodations and travel scholarships. See below for additional news and upcoming events.
We invite you to attend those courses that best match your needs and the needs of those you serve within the movement. Then, take what you have learned and follow up to ensure that the girls ultimately benefit from your learning. We recognize the challenges that you face in today's environment, and hope that in spite of these challenges, you will continue to make learning and development a priority.
Thank you for visiting our pages. Come again and come often to see what new learning opportunities are available.
