Spring 2020 Lead & Learn

LEADER RESOURCES

We are Here for You! EMERSON RESOURCE CENTER (ERC) Visit the ERC!

Let our Girl Scout experts at the Emerson Resource Center (ERC) help plan your upcoming troop meetings, ceremonies or outings. The ERC is located adjacent to the Girl Scout Shop at 2300 Ball Dr., and is dedicated to supporting volunteers and leaders. It offers a variety of resources, from outdoor equipment to program essentials and everything in between. The ERC is a lending library with helpful items available to borrow, including books, kits, equipment, songs on CD and Programs-in-a-Box. Most items have a four-week check-out time. VOLUNTEER TOOLKIT The Volunteer Toolkit is a digital resource that supports troop leaders and co-leaders, making the process of running a troop easier and more efficient.
