Volunteer Essentials
Welcome! Adventures Ahead!
As a Girl Scout volunteer, you are a community-builder, mentor, champion of fun, and a role model for what it means to lead with your heart. And because of you, Girl Scouts of all ages will have the opportunity to discover that a little imagination can go a long way as they chase their dreams, explore the world around them, take action to improve their communities, and make the world a better place. Thank you and welcome. We’re glad you’re here!
These pages are designed to support you as a Girl Scout volunteer. Here, you will discover essential information that is easy to access and even easier to come back to. We recommend that you begin by browsing the sections below and return throughout the year to find answers to your questions as they arise.
