Your one-stop-shop for the most commonly used forms and key volunteer resources.

Getting Started as a Troop: Are you a new troop leader? We’ve got you covered. Check out the New Leader Learning Progression—an easy-to-navigate checklist to keep you on track during your first year!
Training for Volunteers: GSSNE’s online learning platform, gsLearn (accessed via sign-on through your MYGS login), is continually updated with new volunteer trainings, documents, resources, videos, and more! Whether you’re a troop, service unit, or council volunteer, there’s something there for you.

First year as a leader? You should begin your learning with the Successful Leader Learning Series, Girl Scouts Outdoors, and Troop Finances. After that, there are lots of courses to explore as your leadership adventure continues.

Second year and beyond? After completing your first-year learning courses, you can explore opportunities for returning leaders. The menu of options continues to grow!
Planning Your Troop Year: Volunteer Toolkit: The Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) is a digital K–12 program tool that provides troop leaders with program content, troop management tools, and other resources to make running a troop easier than ever. If you’re already a registered troop leader, click MYGS to log in and get started.
Fall Product and Cookie Programs: Resources are available online for Fall Product and Cookie Program sellers and volunteers, including training videos, live webinars, forms, guides, and more. Visit our Product Programs page for more information!
Beyond Troop Meetings: Attend GSSNE programs, explore community events within your service unit, or plan your own troop day, overnight, or extended travel trips! For more information, see Girl Scouts Destinations.
Program Boxes: We are incredibly excited to share with you that you may now find all new, super cool Program Box rentals for Troops by visiting this new and improved Program Boxes for Troops page under the Our Programs section of our website!

We hope you are as excited as we are to discover all the new activities and adventures you can have with your troops this year!
Monthly Emails to Volunteers: S'more News is our fun and informative quarterly newsletter where we share all things GSSNE (Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England).
