Fall 2026 Lead & Learn

Discover Our Courses

At Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, we are committed to making volunteer training as convenient and accessible as possible. Recognizing the value of our volunteers’ time, we fully embrace online learning as a cornerstone of our training approach. To better serve our volunteers, we have increased the number of blended-learning opportunities for skills-based courses. This format allows volunteers to complete the knowledge portion of a course online at their convenience while participating in hands-on skills practice during in-person sessions.

We also understand the importance of in-person training and programs in fostering a sense of community. These face-to-face experiences will continue to play a vital role in our adult learning curriculum.

Courses are grouped in the following categories: • Archery, pg. 14 • Badges, Awards, Patches and Programs, pg. 18 • Camp and Service Team Volunteers, pg. 24 • First Aid, CPR, and Mental Wellness, pg. 31 • Product Programs, pg. 35 • Technology and Platforms, pg. 39 • Troop Camping and Outdoor Skills, pg. 41 • Troop Management, pg. 47 Program Levels Following each course title is an indication of what Girl Scout program level (Daisy-Ambassador or All) would benefit from an adult completing that course. gsLearn Course Prefixes GSEM uses “548” as its unique identifier in gsLearn for courses and learning paths created by our council. “GSUSA” stands for Girl Scouts of the USA, our national organization, and is used for classes and learning paths created by GSUSA for use by councils across the country. In the course listings in Lead & Learn , these prefixes are omitted for clarity. Courses and learning paths created by GSUSA are noted with (GSUSA) at the end of the course title. Turn to pg. 6 for more information on gsLearn.
