Become a Volunteer

Watch a video about volunteering with Girl Scouts:

Since 1912, Girl Scout volunteers have been helping girls develop leadership skills, explore new ideas and learn about themselves. Girls and adults meet as a group or troop to make friends, build trust and grow together.

If you want to help girls lead lives of courage, confidence and character, then you’ve come to the right place. Did you know that as a Girl Scout leader/volunteer:

  • You can choose to work with girls of any age from 5 to 17. 
  • If you aren’t sure what to do, that’s okay there are adult learning courses, handbooks, online tools, volunteer meetings and dedicated staff members to help along the way. 
  • You don’t lead a troop alone…you volunteer with a team of caring adults, each with their own strengths, to make Girl Scouting happen. 
  • You can set the location, duration and frequency of troop meetings to fit your schedule. 
  • You don’t have to have children of your own or a daughter in the troop. It doesn’t matter if you were a Girl Scout – what matters is you care about girls and we’ll help with the rest!

Girl Scout volunteers make a difference in girls' lives, develop leadership skills and have fun!
