Volunteer Toolkit
Our online Volunteer Toolkit is a wonderful planning resource
for our Girl Scout Daisy, Brownie and Junior Troop Leaders.

The Volunteer Toolkit is a digital resource that supports troop leaders and co-leaders, making the process of running a troop easier and more efficient.
Without our volunteers, Girl Scouting wouldn’t be possible. So
we want to make sure you have all the resources you need to make your
volunteer experience with us rewarding, successful—and of course,
fun!

Safety Activity Checkpoints
Safety Activity Checkpoints provide in-depth safety information and
tips that adult volunteers use for Girl Scout sports and
activities. Girls can also use these checkpoints to ready their group
for a girl-led activity. When preparing for any activity with girls,
always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints (SACs) written
specifically for that particular activity.
Note: "Adult,”
in reference to adult-to-girl ratio, means a registered and approved
adult volunteer with GSWPA, who has completed the volunteer
screening process.
Girl
Scout Champions
Girl Scout Champions play a vital role in helping to spread the
word about how awesome it is to be a Girl Scout! Girl Scout Champions
introduce Girl Scouting to new girls and adults within their own
communities whether it be hosting local events, sending information to
schools, or just bringing flyers and brochures to libraries. Girl
Scout Champions have the power to educate their community about how
both girls and adults can join Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania!
