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!

You don't need to be a parent, caregiver, or have previous Girl Scout experience to make an impact. If you believe in girls and want to help them grow, there's a volunteer role for you.

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. 

The Girl Scout membership year runs from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. Annual membership dues are $80 for girl members and $30 for adult members. Additional local fees and discounts may apply. Financial aid is available. Girl Scout memberships must be renewed annually.
