NVO Online Plus

New Volunteer Orientation (NVO) consists of two parts: 

Part 1 is an overview of the Girl Scout program, and

Part 2 is an overview of the Girl Scout Council of Cannon Valley, including how to access resources within the council.  Girl Scouts of the USA now offers "Basic Orientation" via the Internet.  This web-based training meets the requirements for Part 1 of NVO.  Part 2 is delivered in person by volunteer Girl Scout trainers in your area.

To complete Part 1 of NVO Online Plus:

1. Contact the council service center at 800-344-4757 to get the current password for first-time users.  (You will create your own password to use after your first visit to the site.)  You can also get the current password from volunteer Girl Scout trainers in your area.
   
   
2. Go to  http://training.girlscouts.org  and select "Basic Orientation".  You can complete the whole thing in one sitting (most people take about an hour) or do one section at a time over a number of days.  Just be sure to finish the online training before going to the "live" training of Part 2.
   
   
3. Complete the worksheet as you go through the online training.  You will need to bring your completed worksheet with you to Part 2.

To complete Part 2 of NVO Online Plus:

2. Bring these items with you to the 1-hour session:
   • your completed Part 1 worksheet
   • your troop packet
   • your copy of Safety-Wise
   • a pen or pencil
   • your enthusiasm!!
