Short & Snappies

Educate and support your team—in a flash!

Short & Snappies are easy-to-use mini guides that volunteers can use to train each other on a variety of Girl Scout subjects—from patch programs to Take Action projects to SWAPS and more—at service unit or troop meetings. Each Short & Snappy is designed to be completed in just 10-45 minutes! Any interested volunteer is welcome to lead a Short & Snappy.

Request an Adult Educator toggle arrow

Adult Educators are experienced volunteers trained to facilitate the learning of adults. They have experience working with girls and parents/caregivers, and understand the challenges facing adults engaged in volunteer work. Request an experienced Adult Educator to facilitate a Short & Snappy (or other training) at your next meeting.
