Each troop leader, co-leader, assistant leader or any adult that has direct or ultimate responsibility for groups of girls; drivers for multiple girl events; adults responsible for Girl Scout funds, including troop or group funds or product sales; is required to consent to a criminal background check as part of the application process.

Every adult volunteer is selected on the basis of qualifications for membership, ability to perform the job, and willingness and availability to participate in training/adult learning for the job. Selections for the positions outlined above are contingent upon satisfactory results of criminal background checks and reference checks if required.

GSGLA conducts on-line Background Checks, password to be given at Council Introduction training or at your local Service Center. Please refer to the Criminal Background Check FAQ.
