2010 Fall Volunteer Training Weekends
|
Volunteers play a key role in providing the Girl Scout Leadership Experience throughout our 30 county council. As a kick-off to the 2010-2011 Girl Scout year, we are pleased to offer the following Volunteer Training Weekends throughout the Fall of 2010. Your feedback has helped create an opportunity for both new and more seasoned volunteers to come together for a full weekend of training, information sharing and networking. Choose to attend a full weekend or only the workshops that appeal most to you at any of the five locations. Either way, there is no charge to participate - includes all overnight accommodations and meals. Overnight accommodations will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
