Volunteer with Girl Scouts and help girls find what’s within.

Be part of the moments that spark confidence, courage, and joy—sign up and make a difference today!

Behind every girl who discovers her strength is a volunteer who shows up, cheers her on, and believes in her. You already have what it takes to inspire girls to explore, grow, and lead. Along the way, you’ll build your own confidence, strengthen your leadership skills, and connect with a supportive community that shares your passion. 

  • Volunteer as a troop leader: Guide a group of Girl Scouts by creating a fun, safe space. We’ll help you get started with easy-to-use tools like the Girl Scout Experience Box and ready-made Troop Year Plans so you can focus on fun, growth, and connection. 

  • Be a supportive adult volunteer: Help girls thrive by assisting with meetings, activities, or special events, no matter your schedule or experience. 

  • Get involved on your terms. Choose a role that fits your time and interests—from leading a troop to lending a hand behind the scenes.

No previous experience is required to support girls as they build confidence, skills, and lifelong friendships through the Girl Scout experience. Your local Girl Scout Council can help get you started. 

Sign up to be a volunteer today. 

Ways to Volunteer

Be a troop co-leader and help her dream big. Mentor a group of Girl Scout Cookie entrepreneurs so they can reach their goal and fund their next adventure. Or join other adults in your community to provide behind the scenes support to Girl Scouts in your area.

Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun! And the best part? No previous Girl Scout experience required! Bring your passion and excitement and we’ll supply the rest.

Volunteer Roles

Here are just a few of the many ways you can volunteer with Girl Scouts. Choose one to start your Girl Scout adventure today! 

Troop Co-Leader                               
At Girl Scouts, our greatest need for volunteers will always be troop co-leaders. From Daisy (grades K-1) thru Ambassador (grades 11-12), Girl Scout Troop Co-Leaders make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of girls by providing age-appropriate support and guidance. Because when you embrace leadership in all forms and show girls what it means to be resilient and strong, they learn, grow, and thrive. And before you know it, you’ll be trying to keep up with your unstoppable troop.

If you’re interested in becoming a Troop Co-Leader, we welcome and encourage you to take the next step – volunteer to become a Troop Co-Leader today. Imagine the excitement, the impact, the memories made—those are the moments you’ll enjoy as a Girl Scout volunteer.
