Our Strategic Priority
Develop a nimble, state-of-the-art model of volunteerism that mobilizes a variety of volunteers committed to the Girl Scout Mission. 

Volunteers—the Backbone of the Movement
People are busy and getting busier.

So how does an organization that relies heavily on volunteer support attract the people it needs?

By making it easier to volunteer, with:

  • Flexible service pathways, from single events to year-long opportunities.
  • Easier, simpler entry into volunteer positions that includes matching a volunteer's interests and skills with the appropriate opportunities.
  • Online orientation and new leadership training.

Sign-up today to become a volunteer, or contact your local council to get started.

Through the years, the Girl Scout Movement has relied on volunteers to deliver services to girls. Today, our nearly one million adult members are the backbone of everything we do. Without the hard work and dedication of these women and men, Girl Scouting as we know it would simply not exist.

If you are already a Girl Scout volunteer, I want to take this occasion to thank you for your commitment to the values of Girl Scouting and the gift you have made of your time, your energy, and your abilities. If you're an adult interested in becoming a volunteer, I encourage you to join us in building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Sincerely,

Kathy Cloninger
Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts of the USA
