REGISTRATION INFO (back to index)

Q:  DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF GIRL SCOUTS TO TAKE TRAINING? 

A:  Courses are open to all adult volunteers, families, staff, and community members. Basic Leadership Training (Orientation, Guiding Girls and Grade Level) is required for all leaders.  Volunteers trained in other Girl Scout councils may contact the VP Adult Education to discuss transfer of their certifications (if applicable).

Q:  HOW DO I REGISTER?

A:  Complete a registration form and send it to the council BEFORE THE DEADLINE DATE.   Use one form per person. 

• Mail Registration Form to Girl Scouts, Tarheel Triad 
  Council, 8818 W. Market Street, Colfax, NC 27235. Course fees (if applicable) MUST be included with registration form in order for your registration to be accepted.
• Faxed registrations are acceptable for courses without a fee. Send to 369-7476.
• We are sorry, but we cannot accept any registrations over the phone. 
• Registration is necessary for all courses; walk-ins cannot be accommodated. 
• Registrations received after the deadline date will not be processed. 
• Courses that do not meet the minimum registration number on the deadline date will be cancelled and you will be notified. 

Financial assistance is available from the Adult Assistance Fund. Contact the VP Adult Education for further information. 

Q:  HOW DO I KNOW IF MY REGISTRATION WAS ACCEPTED?

 A:  Upon receipt of your registration form, it will be processed and a confirmation returned to you indicating if it was accepted or not accepted. Keep this confirmation handy and bring it with you to GLO. Plan to arrive on time and stay until the published ending time.

Q:  WHAT IF MY PLANS CHANGE AND I CAN’T ATTEND?

 A:  It is important to immediately notify the Registration Department at 800-672-2148 ext. 7449, if you are unable to attend a course you registered for. Other volunteers may be on a waiting list, and by taking a moment to let us know your intention, we may be able to accommodate another volunteer.

Q:  WHAT IF I CAN ONLY ATTEND PART OF A SESSION?

A:  To receive credit for a course, you must attend the entire session as published.

Q:  WHAT IF I PAID FOR A COURSE AND CAN'T ATTEND?

A:  If you cancel before the deadline date, you will receive a full refund. Course fees are disbursed to the volunteer trainer for purchase of supplies and preparations for the course. Refunds will not be processed for cancellations received after the deadline date. If a course is cancelled due to insufficient registration or inclement weather, you will be notified and offered the option of transferring to another GLO or receiving a refund.

Q:  WILL FOOD AND DRINKS BE PROVIDED?

A:  In order to keep the cost of Girl Scout training free (except where outdoor cooking is the topic), food and drinks are not usually provided. You are welcome to bring your own lunch, drinks, snacks, and supper as appropriate! A few locations do not allow food and drinks, but these are noted in the listings.

Q:  CAN MY CHILD COME WITH ME TO TRAINING?

A:  Due to facilities and personnel available for our courses, we regret we cannot provide childcare for GLO sessions. Children of any age are not permitted. We encourage you to secure a sitter, to check on community services, or to contact adults in your troop to lend a hand.

Q:  HOW DO I GET THE MATERIALS I NEED?

A:  Each session has a "BRING" section. If you do not have these materials and you are the leader of the troop, please contact your Membership Director (the council staff member assigned to your area). If you are not the leader, you might borrow the materials from the leader.
