As a new volunteer with GSNCA we ask that you complete two online trainings. Online Volunteer Orientation (OVO) and Leadership Essentials (LE) are offered online through Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA). Both classes take about 45 minutes and offer a new or returning volunteer the tools and core of Girl Scouting.

- Click on “Learning Log” next to “Table of Context” to set up the Learning Log.
