Volunteers
Girl Scouting just wouldn't come together without volunteers. Whatever they bring to the organization — from leading/advising a troop or group to working in the office or directing a ski weekend — Girl Scout volunteers are unique in blending special skills with the desire to help young girls prepare for the future.
Just as girls benefit from their involvement with Girl Scouts, so do adult volunteers enjoy opportunities ranging from learning new skills to travel and sports. You can even pick up tips on money management, and sales and marketing.
How can I become a volunteer?
All adults, women and men, are invited to share their skills, interests and available time in varied opportunities where personal benefits abound. Working with other adults to provide safe, supervised activities takes teamwork. In bringing girl specific skills to mentoring and facilitating program activities, the rewards are never routine. An application and three references are required.
What kind of volunteer opportunities are available?
Finding the right match with your skills and interests, plus available time, is important to the success of the program. A short-term project or event or ongoing activities can be among your options:
- Leader/Assistant Leader for groups/troops

Do I need training?
Requirements may range from informal orientation and briefing to a more in-depth training required for a troop or group leader/advisor. These trainings in basic leadership and age-appropriate learning activities are designed to ensure a safe environment that encourages girl planning and leadership.
