Adult Learning (Training)
Welcome to the Adult Learning department at Girl Scouts San Diego! Taking advantage of council training opportunities is an investment in yourself and the girls you serve.
Through our Core Leadership Series, Outdoor Program, and other enrichment opportunities, you will learn how to maximize the Girl Scouting experience by participating in hands-on workshops that will increase your competence and confidence as you learn new skills and techniques, tips and tools.
We offer a wide variety of courses designed to fully support you as you guide girls through their Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
Browse through our current Training Catalog available here.
Core Leadership Series
New Leaders Start Here! The Core Leadership Series provides new leaders and adult volunteers with an overview of the Girl Scout organization and the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE). There must be at least one adult in attendance at every meeting of girls who has completed all of the following Core Leadership materials and courses taken in the following order:
Keep in mind that to ensure an optimal experience and enhance the effectiveness of the group, as many adults as possible should take the Core Leadership Series.

- Let’s Camp (for any overnights, encampments and troop camping)
- Let’s Cook 1 and 2 (when girls are ready to work with knives, fire and cooking)
- Let’s Tent (only needed for rustic camping)
