Questions about NVO Online Plus

What if I don't have Internet access?

Remember that an "all-live" version of NVO is offered as a two-hour session; check with your local Girl Scout service team to find out how to register. If you'd like to do the online version of Part 1 of NVO but you don't have Internet access, contact the council service center at 800-344-4757. You can arrange to complete online training at the service center or you can get the name of a volunteer trainer near you who has offered to let other Girl Scout volunteers come to her/his home to take the online training. (The trainers are excited about this option and they are eager to help new volunteers!)

Do I have to take both Part 1 and Part 2 of NVO Online Plus?

Parts 1 and 2 cover different topics: Part 1 covers essential general information about the Girl Scout program; Part 2 covers local council information and how to access local resources. You have not completed your orientation until you have completed both parts.

Are there any big downloads in this online course?

The module includes a link for a free download of Shockwave. If you choose not to download the program or have difficulty downloading it that is not resolved by using the help resources, you can still complete the module without Shockwave. A few of the interactive exercises will not appear, but you will not miss any essential content.

Can I get to the online module from the Girl Scouts of the USA home page (www.girlscouts.org)?

Not at this time. You must go to http://training.girlscouts.org/ .

I'm a returning leader who already took "all-live" NVO; can I still do the online module?

Certainly! And it will count as an hour toward a leaf to hang on your Leadership Development pin. The online module can serve as an ongoing reference for volunteers.
