The Benefits of Being a Girl Scout Volunteer Ways to Volunteer

Through volunteering with Girl Scouts, troop leaders experience the following benefits:

If you’re ready to engage with your community, grow your skills, and show Girl Scouts what it means to be capable—you’re ready to be a volunteer. • Troop leaders engage regularly with their Girl Scouts and guide them through activities, like earning badges, exploring the outdoors or running their own business through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. • Troop family and friends assist with driving, activity planning, snacks, money management or other tasks to keep the troop running oh-so smoothly from week to week. • Service unit volunteers are the network of support throughout your community. They empower troop leaders and troop volunteers to be the role models that Girl Scouts need and connect them with the resources for unforgettable troop experiences. The best part? There’s no one type of volunteer. If you believe that Girl Scouts can change the world, you belong here.
