Registration Procedures
Adult training courses are available to all adults as well as girls 14
years of age or older who are registered with Sahuaro Girl Scout
Council. Pre-registration is required for all training courses to help
“utilize our
resources wisely.” To receive certification, volunteers must attend the
entire training.
Please register for all trainings at least two weeks before the
scheduled course. We can only guarantee that confirmations will be sent
to those who registered two weeks in advance. Course registrations are
evaluated seven business days prior to the course date and, in most
cases, courses with less than five registered
participants will be cancelled. Only those who have pre-registered will
be notified of the course cancellation. Walk-ins will not be permitted
to attend training sessions.

Fax your completed registration form to
(520) 795-3318.
Please Note: Registrations are not accepted
over the phone.
To register for a training course that has a fee, payment must accompany

for each individual training course to be attended. Faxed registrations
will only be processed if credit card information is provided.
Registration fees can be paid with cash, Visa or MasterCard (minimum

Center. Please don’t send cash through the mail or leave it in the
“black box” behind the administration building at the Service Center.

Refunds
In the event that
council cancels a course, registrants receive a full refund
of fees paid. If a trainee cancels their registration, fees
will be refunded excluding nonrefundable deposits, only if
notice of cancellation is received in writing at the council
seven business days prior to the class date. Refunds will
not be given if a class is not attended. There will be no
refund for cancelled First Aid and CPR courses.

Bringing Children
Baby-sitting services are not
provided at council-sponsored training courses. Children can
become restless and are a distraction to the other
participants. It is not acceptable to have young,
unsupervised children in corridors or other rooms of the
council buildings. If childcare is unavailable or becomes
unavailable, contact the training department to reschedule
the course to a different time. Adults bringing children
will be asked to leave and reschedule.

What to Bring
For all training courses offered through
Sahuaro Girl Scout Council, we recommend that you come prepared with pen
or pencil, paper for note-taking, and your enthusiasm! You may also want
to bring a closed-container beverage (such as a water bottle with a cap)
and a snack. For all-day training courses, you may wish to bring a sack
lunch to enjoy with other leaders during the break.
Please bring your troop resources (i.e. leader handbooks, leader packet,
and Safety-Wise) to Daisy, Brownie, and Junior level training courses,
as well as courses for Adults Working with Girls 11-17. These books are
available (one set per troop) from your service unit. Additional copies
are for sale in the Sahuaro Girl Scout Council Shop.
Bring Safety-Wise and Outdoor Education in Girl Scouting, if you have
one available, for Outdoor Training courses (Exploring the Outdoors,
Moving into the Outdoors–both Basic and Extended and Beginning
Backpacking). Supply/packing lists are mailed directly to you with your
course confirmation.
First Aid and CPR courses have no required items beyond what is
recommended for all courses above.
Cancellations
If you are unable to attend a
course for which you are registered, please cancel your registration by
filling out the cancellation form available on the
forms page. Cancellation form may be faxed to 520-795-3318, mailed to
Sahuaro Girl Scout Council, 4300 E. Broadway Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85711, or
dropped off at the front desk of the Resource Center. Cancellation form
must be received at least seven business days before the date of the
session. This is “honest and fair,” “friendly and helpful,” and
“considerate and caring” as the trainer will know the number of
participants to expect and other volunteers may wish to attend what
otherwise appears to be a full course.
Arrival Time
Out of respect, please
plan to arrive 10 minutes before the training course is
scheduled to begin to check in and receive materials. All
courses will start promptly at their scheduled time.
Completion of the class to receive certification requires
on-time arrival. If a participant arrives more than 10
minutes after the course begins or leaves more than 10
minutes before it ends, the trainer has been authorized not
to sign that participant’s training card, will advise the
participant to retake the course, and course credit will not
be entered into our computer system.
