Become a Volunteer
Your Year of Giving Back
You have what it takes to be a Girl Scout Volunteer.
Think back to when you were a kid. Remember the people who listened to you, inspired you, and supported you through it all? It’s your turn to be one of those people for a new generation.
When you volunteer with Girl Scouts, you provide a safe space for kids to discover themselves. You help them try new things, build each other up, and make unforgettable memories through fun, laughter, and connection.
You can be a role model and mentor just by being yourself! You don’t need any special leadership training to get involved—just a passion for helping others. Your local Girl Scout council can help get you started.

LEARN MORETroop and service unit volunteer roles
If you’re ready to deeply engage with your community, grow your skills, and show Girl Scouts what it means to be unstoppable—you’re ready to be a troop or service unit volunteer.
Troop volunteers help Girl Scouts become stronger, kinder, and braver than they ever thought possible. Troop leaders—and volunteers in other roles, like troop money manager or cookie chair—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.
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.
If you want to get a snapshot of troop life, you can find short-term volunteer opportunities—both in-person and virtual—and support local Girl Scouts as they pursue their passions.
The best part? There’s no one “type” of volunteer. If you believe that Girl Scouts can change the world, you belong here. Find your local council and see how you can make the most impact.
