If you have a computer that has Internet access and meets minimum operating requirements, you can participate in exciting new first aid/CPR blended learning courses from the American Red Cross. The first part of the training is taken online, which allows you to learn at your own pace. You also have the option of going through the course in an abbreviated format and testing out of lessons with which you may already be familiar. And you don't need to worry about interruptions at home from kids, phone calls or ringing doorbells. Red Cross Web-based training can be stopped and started according to your busy schedule. The second part of your training will be led by a Red Cross-trained instructor at the Girl Scout Center. During a 2-hour skills practice and assessment session with an instructor, you can practice and demonstrate the skills you've learned and earn certification. NOTE: THE ONLINE PORTION OF THIS CLASS IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY PC; it does not currently work with the MAC.

This learning opportunity is for new and existing volunteers and takes the place of previous program level training. Once you have taken this course, you will NOT need any further program level training. This course will help you understand the meaning of the three keys to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. It will demonstrate how to use resources to support the delivery of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, including the journeys (Girls' book with accompanying Guide for Adult Volunteers). The course will illustrate how to facilitate activities so that they are girl-led and combine learning by doing and cooperative learning. Finally, it will convey the value of inner leadership practices for volunteers and the girls they serve.
