Mandatory Volunteer Training

Protecting the emotional and physical safety and well-being of every Girl Scout is our shared top priority. Volunteers play an essential role in ensuring Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri remains a safe and supportive place for all girls. The purpose of this required training is to equip volunteers with the knowledge to recognize signs of child abuse or neglect, understand our responsibilities as mandated reporters, and apply Girl Scout safety policies and best practices to all activities. All volunteers are required to complete the following courses within 60 days of assignment in gsLearn: • Girl Scouts Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention • Course completion is required annually. • Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Mandated Reporter Training • Course completion is required every two years.
