Attend an outdoor-themed activity at one of our camps, or resident camp or day camp in the summer, and experience the wonders of nature.

Perhaps you like events where you meet other girls, learn new things, and have a great time.

Come on your own or with a friend to several of our cool events.

Want a bit more involvement? A series is a great way to explore a topic that interests you without committing to a full year of meetings.

Do you like to travel? You can take local trips, travel somewhere in the U.S., or venture around the world. Traveling with other Girl Scouts makes the experience even more awesome!

Interact online with girls and volunteers in a safe, secure environment.

Want to give service and use your leadership skills? This symbol marks a chance to do just that.

This symbol lets you know you'll need a troop leader, parent, or guardian to participate.

be the role model she’ll always remember. Be a Girl Scout volunteer.

Volunteering with Girl Scouts isn’t just for moms­—it’s for everyone. Bring your skills, experience, and enthusiasm, and show her that anything is possible.

• Share your passions, whatever they may be.

• Participate with girls instead of sitting on the sidelines.

• Network, engage, and embark on new adventures.

• Expand your own skills and talents that can apply to other areas of your life.

Girls are waiting. It starts with you today.

Get started now!

Just a few steps, and you’re a volunteer.
