We're 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Since 1912, we’ve built girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

The Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) and the American Red
Cross announced today a new partnership that provides Girl Scouts across the
country access to Red Cross training at reduced rates under a nationally
standardized agreement. This agreement allows for an easier, more streamlined
process of signing up for preparedness courses to help save lives. Councils,
who will have an appointed Red Cross representative to work with, can select either
full service trainings (e.g. directly) from the Red Cross, or they can choose to
have staff trained to work as authorized providers. Training options under the
agreement include core trainings such as CPR and First Aid, as well as Water
Safety and Rescue, Wilderness and Remote First Aid, Lifeguarding, Babysitting
among others. The trainings are
available to both adults and girls, as age appropriate. Girl Scouts love to
help others to make the world a better place.
This new partnership provides a national framework to help both adult
and girl members better able to provide quality public service to their
communities.
