Thank you for everything you bring to the Girl Scout Movement

Volunteers like you let their generosity, courage, and heart shine through in everything they do—and your Girl Scouts take notice. The best troop leaders don't have all the answers, but instead, they model lifelong learning.

  • Take part in activities with your troop, even if you aren't great at them
  • Provide girls the space to take the lead in their Girl Scout experience
  • Make new friends with other Girl Scout volunteers
  • Have fun right alongside your troop

Your role as a troop leader is to connect girls with opportunities to develop their skills and challenge them to think creatively about how they can make the world a better place.
