USA Girl Scouts - Kazakhstan

Training

(Currently Rome TTT Course)

This page will eventually have information about training sessions in Kazakhstan. For now, however, it has some handouts and activities for the upcoming leader trainings to be held in Rome in January, 2008.

The training assistants in Rome should download all of the documents from this page and make copies for training. For the handouts, I would suggest making one copy per person attending each training, plus one for me, the instructor. I may also list, if I have time, some of the activity handouts.

I recommend that these handouts be collated in the order in which they appear in the document and either stapled or bound together. These handouts do not cover all of the topics of the course and are not substitutes for actually attending the course. The handouts should not be given out in advance of the course nor to people who are not taking the course. They are meant to supplement the training and help reinforce the concepts presented during the course.

Look for new handouts here until I leave for Rome. The handouts for the BVT and Daisy, Brownie, & Junior PALs are currently those for Singapore. I'll put the revised handouts in red when I upload them and mention the date and time of the update here. December 6, 2007

    Basic Volunteer Training

    (All "new" leaders, assistant leaders, and interested other volunteers and parents who have not taken a Basic Leader/Volunteer Training course should take this course.

Topics covered include Girl Scout philosophy, traditions, methodology, Girl/Adult partnerships, recordkeeping, forms, flag cermonies, setup of USAGSO, planning the GS year and more.)
