NEW! Training Update for Adult Members as of 4/21/26

We’re moving from Protecting Our Girls to a new required gsLearn course: “GSUSA Girl Scouts Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention for the State of Texas”

This update aligns us with GSUSA, refreshes required content, and keeps training state‑certified across Texas.

What do I need to do?

  • New adults: Find and take the new course. (Just search the gsLearn content library for ‘Texas’ to find and take the course.)
  • Current adults:
    • If your Protecting Our Girls training is current, no action is needed.
    • It stays valid until April 1, 2027.
    • When it expires (or by that date), you’ll take the new course.
    • You may take the new course early if you wish.
  • 18‑year‑olds working day/twilight camps: If your membership is still showing you an a youth, but you need this course for day/twilight camps, please email customercare@gsnetx.org to request access to the course. 

We believe that learning is an ongoing adventure, and that we learn best when we are curious, connected, and engaged with one another. We want adult members – like you - to feel confident as you make the Girl Scout Leadership Experience come alive for our girls! 

As a movement, Girl Scouts works hard to be a place adults want to volunteer. To give the best experience possible to all our adult members, we must have accessible and relevant learning opportunities available to support you. GSNETX offers a robust training catalog of in person, blended, and online training along a multitude of topics. And – we are growing. 

What Classes Can I Take In-Person?

  • Meetings 101 Make and Take: Learn about using tried and tested meeting tools and techniques for managing meetings and girls' behavior and design and take all the supplies you need to make it happen home with you. Ideal for new leaders.

  • TR301 GSNETX Camping Certification (Part B): TR301 GSNETX Camping is the initial level camping class to allow you to camp at GSNETX camp properties. It is a blended learning course. Complete Part A in our online learning system, gsLearn, and then sign up for Part B for the hands-on in-person portion. 

  • First Aid / CPR / AED Certification: Get your certification through an approved GSNETX partner, sign up for courses through our links. If you are finding your own class or already have certificatation, be sure it is from one of our accepted certified providers and not a fully online class. In person and blended learning classes are acceptable. GSNETX does not provide First Aid/CPR/AED certificatation documentation; that must come from the certifying provider itself.

  • To see when and where these classes are happening, and the link to register for them, click here.

What Classes are Available Online?

Many classes are available online in our Girl Scout learning system, gsLearn. gsLearn is full of essential volunteer trainings and courses, like how to lead activities the Girl Scout way, safety procedures, and advice for guiding Girl Scouts at various grade levels.

You’ll find gsLearn via the left menu bar of MY GS in the My Account section. If you are using your phone, please turn your phone on its side for best results. To find courses or learning paths, click on the Content Library. This is where you go to find training by searching. Any classes with 597 in the title are local to GSNETX and any courses with GSUSA in the title are from Girl Scouts of the USA.
