Some areas do have on-line training others do not you have to inquire within your area. I did many google searches and found a wealth of information out there. There is extensive training. The GS do things differently. It is more independent. Just make the best of it. They have been doing it a long time and the Girls love it. I just became a leader in Junior GS and Tigers. I am just going to follow what each group does and add my own personality to it. Good Luck.
