Invite a Friend to Join Girl Scouts of Maine

Grow your troop with a Bring a Friend event.

Every girl deserves a place where she belongs. If you've found that in Girl Scouts, share it.

Hosting a Bring a Friend event is one of the simplest ways to open the door for a girl in your life—a neighbor, a classmate, a friend—to discover what Girl Scouts is all about. Adventure, friendship, new skills, and a community that shows up for each other.

This page has everything you need to make it happen. Grab a themed activity packet, print some invites, and let the fun do the talking.

What You'll Find Here:

  • Themed activity packets—ready-to-use ideas that make events easy and engaging
  • Printable invites, postcards & flyers—because a personal invite goes a long way
  • Planning resources—whether it's a cozy troop gathering or a bigger community event, we've got you covered

Ready to Invite Someone?
Pick a resource, send an invite, and let her see for herself what Girl Scouts is all about. The more girls who join, the stronger our community becomes—and there's always room for one more.
