Male Volunteers

FACT: Positive male role models play a powerful role in building girls' confidence and self-worth.

Every girl deserves to feel valued, supported, and confident in herself. Male volunteers can make a lifelong impact, helping young girls develop resilience, self-esteem, and a belief in their potential. By stepping up as a mentor, you can inspire her to believe in herself and understand her worth—because when she does, there’s no limit to what she can achieve!

Girl Scout volunteers come from our communities, and your skills can make a big impact. 

Whether as a troop leader, cookie dad, camp guide, or archery instructor, now is the perfect time to be a Girl Scout volunteer. Be the one she can count on—the one who listens, encourages her dreams, makes her laugh, and helps her feel proud.

Are you man enough to be a Girl Scout? Start your journey with Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania today!


"As a working dad, my time is limited, so getting that quality time [with my daughter] was very important to me and is a bonus to joining Girl Scouts."

- Jeffery Ross
