emphasizing areas that are critical to girls’ success right now: supporting girls’ mental health, facilitating girls connection with nature and the outdoors, and helping girls reflect the values of justice and fairness. We continue to deliver free, hands-on activities to Girl Scouts across our footprint with our mobile programming option, Program on the Move, as well as traditional troop or individual participation and in-person or virtual event experiences.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Girls are blazing trails and changing the world in big ways, but they are not doing it alone. Whether you are cheering her on or giving advice, you can be the person in her corner. Adult volunteers like you are needed to lead troops, be mentors, provide outdoor experiences, share expertise in entrepreneurship and STEM, and engage in community service projects. Volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible, training is provided, and you will be creating memories that will last a lifetime.
