Be a Girl Scout Volunteer. Girl Scouts makes sure Girls see and have opportunities to reach their potential—not just to ensure they'll earn better grades, make better decisions, and lead happier lives (though we help with those things too!).
We do it because we’re creating a more fair, equal, and compassionate world where every Girl has a seat at the table. And Girl Scout volunteers are the change-makers who make it all possible. They lead the sisterhood that provides comfort and inspiration in trying moments—giving Girls the tools to solve problems and bounce back when faced with life’s challenges.
Girl Scout Volunteers are required to have Girl Scout Adult Membership and a Council background check when working with Girls or money.

You'll be their cheerleader, guide, and mentor, helping them develop crucial skills and confidence to launch them into a lifetime of leadership.
