Your Year of Mentorship

Become a Girl Scout Volunteer—You Have What It Takes!

As a Girl Scout volunteer, you’re someone girls can count on. You’re the one who cheers them on, makes them laugh, and listens when they need it most. You can help build a community where every girl is accepted and valued—just by being yourself.

You don’t need any special leadership training to get involved—just a passion for helping others. Get started with our council now!

Sign up for our Adult Membership today and, you can join for $25 and keep the fun going through September 2025!  

*Girl Scout membership must be renewed annually. Membership year is October 1–September 30. 

 

 

 

Ways to Volunteer

Be the troop leader that supports her every week—the one that watches her smile get bigger as she grows more confident. Mentor a Girl Scout Cookie Professional during cookie season so she can earn enough to reach the goals she and her troop set. Or work with other adults to provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for her to make amazing new memories at Girl Scouts.

Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun.
