VOLUNTEER ESSENTIALS
For your convenience, this guide is searchable and printable. You are able to print a single section, an entire chapter, or the entire guide. However, keep in mind that the Volunteer Essentials is updated throughout the year, so you will want to access the guide electronically to get the most up-to-date information. The most recent changes will be displayed in the Navigation section at the beginning of the Volunteer Essentials.

How do I use Volunteer Essentials?
There are quite a few ways to find what you need:
Table of Contents You can use the Table of Contents to quickly find topics in this guide, including information on Girl Scout traditions, responsibilities, leadership, awards, badges and so much more. All of the chapters and topics are clickable, and will take you right to that spot within the guide. Get to the Table of Contents by clicking "home" or use the quick links at the top of each page. |
Quick Links You can use the clickable quick links at the top of each page to jump to any of the other chapters or to the Table of Contents or Glossary. You can also use quick links on each page to get to the topics within that chapter more quickly (these are the same topics listed on the Table of Contents). The chapter name where you currently are will be slightly larger and bold. The chapters are color-coded to assist you in navigating. |
