USAGSO-WEST PACIFIC TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Your journey through Girl Scouting and your service to girls begins with top quality training. Our volunteer training corps is one of the best in the world and dedicated to helping you have a successful volunteer experience. We are very proud of our high standards of adult training (all of our volunteers are trained for the job they do) and we encourage you to take advantage of as much Girl Scout training as you can while you are with us in West Pacific.

As always, if you have questions about training or your role in Girl Scouting, please feel free to contact your Overseas Committee Chair or the staff of USAGSO-West Pacific at DSN 263-3597 or 645-2323.
