Become a Volunteer
Volunteer with Girl Scouts and help girls find what’s within.
Be part of the moments that spark confidence, courage, and joy—sign up and make a difference today!
Behind every girl who discovers her strength is a volunteer who shows up, cheers her on, and believes in her. You already have what it takes to inspire girls to explore, grow, and lead. Along the way, you’ll build your own confidence, strengthen your leadership skills, and connect with a supportive community that shares your passion.
Volunteer as a troop leader: Guide a group of Girl Scouts by creating a fun, safe space. We’ll help you get started with easy-to-use tools like the Girl Scout Experience Box and ready-made Troop Year Plans so you can focus on fun, growth, and connection.
Be a supportive adult volunteer: Help girls thrive by assisting with meetings, activities, or special events, no matter your schedule or experience.
Get involved on your terms. Choose a role that fits your time and interests—from leading a troop to lending a hand behind the scenes.
No previous experience is required to support girls as they build confidence, skills, and lifelong friendships through the Girl Scout experience. Your local Girl Scout Council can help get you started.
Sign up to be a volunteer today.

What our Volunteers are saying...
"I would have never tried skiing, white water rafting, primitive camping, surf fishing, archery, kayaking or canoeing if it hadn't been for Girl Scouts."
"Watching [the girls] gain confidence and strengthen their friendship through the [Girl Scout] program has been an invaluable part of my life."
"It's a great resume builder. It [provides the opportunity] for self-growth. You get to do all the cool stuff you wouldn't otherwise make time for in your own life."
"My everyday job just makes money for a big corporation. With Girl Scouts, I'm helping the next generation become more confident and learn life skills."
