Whether she is 5 or 17, you want the girl in your life to become self-confident, strong and compassionate. You want her to respect herself and others, make good decisions, be open to new challenges, and use her skills and talents to make the world a better place. You want her to build strong friendships, be a leader, and put her values into practice in her everyday life.
Through the Girl Scout Leadership Development Program, girls will discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasing diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
Girl Scout activities are open to all girls who are members of Girl Scouting, are based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, follow health and safety standards and are done with the support of caring, trained adults. The Girl Scout program provides engaging and worthwhile activities that respond to the needs of today’s girls, with flexibility that respects their busy lives- and yours!
Be Involved with Your Girl Scout
Take an hour and get involved! You’ll become a part of your girl’s life and will enjoy watching her grow as a leader, as a member of a team, and as a girl. While the girls are first in Girl Scouting, there’s a lot of fun in it for grown-ups too!
Support the Troop
A successful Girl Scout year depends on cooperative and involved parents. The most active, vibrant troops have regular involvement by parents. When everyone contributes a part, the girls gain. - Sponsor her Girl Scout troop through your business. Sponsors can provide almost anything from a meeting place, financial assistance, or a van for an outing.
- Attend one or two field trips and help with the transportation.
- Buy groceries for camp outings or bring snack for a troop meeting.
- Offer to make troop phone calls, copy or translate materials. Any skills you have can help the troop!
- Help at several troop meetings throughout the year. You can provide activities or be a program resource to broaden the girls’ experiences with your expertise.
- Attend all parent meetings.
- Help by being the troop’s cookie manager, treasurer, first aider, or outdoor trained adult.
- Let your troop leader know you’re willing to help, and find out how you can contribute to the troop.
- Join the troop leadership team as a leader or co-leader.
Volunteer
Adult volunteers are the driving force behind Girl Scouting. Without them, the Girl Scout program would be impossible to sustain. Adult volunteers serve in a variety of positions, such as troop leaders, registrars, and trainers. They are given training, support, and help to make their volunteer contribution one that is personally meaningful. Volunteers build skills, share talents, meet other adults with common interests, try new experiences, have fun, and spend quality time with their daughters and her friends. Be the difference in the life of a girl, and discover the possibilities as an adult volunteer.
