Your Year of Giving Back 

You have what it takes to be a Girl Scout Volunteer.

Be the troop leader that supports her every week — the one that watches her smile get bigger as she grows more confident. Mentor a Girl Scout Cookie professional during cookie season so she can earn enough to reach the goals she and her troop set. Or work with other adults to provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for her to make amazing new memories at Girl Scouts. 

Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun.

Volunteer Roles
  • Troop Leader/Co-Leader
    Work with a group of girls and mentor them as they make new friends and develop connections that will last a lifetime. 
  • Troop Family and Friends/Troop Committee Member
    Assist with driving, activity planning, snacks, money management, or other tasks necessary to keep the troop running oh-so-smoothly from week to week. 
  • Area Manager
    This is special position volunteers may be recruited for. Develop, extend, and maintain girl and adult memberships in a geographic area to  ensure that the Girl Scout program is strong and vibrant in the community.
  • Troop Organizer
    This is a special position volunteers may be recruited for. Organize and maintain troops in a geographic area. Recruit, appoint, and provide orientation to Girl Scout volunteers in the fundamentals of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
  • Cookie Volunteers
    Coordinate the annual cookie sale at the troop level. Set up cookie booths, manage inventory and money, and then watch the girls light up when they earn the rewards for being the best cookie sellers ever!
  • Community Volunteers
    Mentor adult volunteers as they work with Girl Scouts to create memories they will never forget.
  • Camp/Seasonal Volunteers
