Adult Education and Enrichment
Adult Volunteers are the essential keys of Leadership for our girls!
The Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council is committed to fully preparing and supporting the women and men who volunteer their time to help girls become the best Leaders they can be. Teen girls 14 and older are welcome to attend all training courses! They may take First Aide and Camp Basics, but cannot serve as the first-aider or camp trained person for Troop until they are registered as an adult.
Share Your Knowledge... Become a Facilitator!
Facilitators are those wonderful mentors who give our Leaders the tools to become successful and share the joy that comes from helping girls develop their leadership skills and be the successful Leaders of tomorrow. Facilitator’s Training teaches group management, facilitator skills and shares their leadership skills so that they may develop girls into leaders.
If you have an interest in joining us in this venture and becoming part of this dynamic and committed core of facilitators, please contact:
