On-line Volunteer Orientation

The new online Volunteer Orientation (both English- and Spanish-language versions) will be the first close-up view of the Girl Scout organization for all new volunteers. It is designed to introduce new volunteers to Girl Scouting and the many rewarding opportunities that Girl Scouting offers girls and adults.

The new online orientation integrates new volunteers into the council environment and its ways of work and, because the basic program content of the orientation is standardized, the messages shared throughout the council and nationally will be consistent.

Access to the New Orientation
It's live! Council staff and new volunteers can now access the new online Volunteer Orientation site at http://onlinelearning.girlscouts.org/.  When you log on, please type in the assigned password: discover. 

In the Learning Log section of the orientation, you will be asked for your email as well as the volunteer manager’s email. Please use volunteermanager@citrus-gs.org.
