Become a Girl Scout Volunteer—You Have What It Takes!
As a Girl Scout volunteer, you’re someone girls can count on. You’re the one who cheers them on, makes them laugh, and listens when they need it most. You can help build a community where every girl is accepted and valued—just by being yourself.
You don’t need any special leadership training to get involved—just a passion for helping others. Get started with our council now!
Sign up for our Extended Year Membership today and, for a limited time,* you can join for $35 and keep the fun going through September 2025!
*Girl Scout membership must be renewed annually. Membership year is October 1–September 30.

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."
