New Troop Leaders
Let's Get Started!
Share in the fun and excitement as a Girl Scout troop leader! Troop leaders work with other volunteers to help girls learn new skills, explore new adventures, make new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Here’s what you need to do to get started as a new Girl Scout troop leader:
- Complete the registration and submit the required clearances.
- Once you've been cleared and approved as a troop leader, review the Leader's Guide to Success—a printable guide for leading a Girl Scout troop.
- Start your training journey—you will receive a welcome email from the new troop leader coordinator with instructions about how to access your training in gsLearn.
- Attend a Leadership Workshop within three months of receiving your welcome email from the new troop leader coordinator.
