Invite-a-Friend
As a Girl Scout volunteer, you know how rewarding it is to build
girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a
better place. You inspire girls every day and provide them the tools
to empower themselves. By inviting a friend to start a new troop,
you’ll help even more girls prepare for a lifetime of
leadership. Plus, you’ll get $30 for your troop and they’ll get a
$30 GSU gift certificate for their new troop!

FAQs
How can I qualify for the promotion?
As a volunteer, you can invite a friend to start a new troop by
submitting the Invite-a-Friend form between October 26 - December
22, 2020. You must be at least 18 years old, a registered adult
member with Girl Scouts of Utah for the 2020-2021 membership year (or
be a lifetime member), and have a current background check on file.
How many friends can I invite?
You can invite as many friends as you would like to start two
separate NEW troops and qualify for the incentives.
What does my friend need to do to qualify?
Your friend
will need to start a new troop by officially purchasing a membership
and be an approved volunteer troop leader or co-leader by submitting
an online volunteer background check no later than DEADLINE.
What if the new troop has two leaders—will each leader receive
a gift certificate?
No, only one gift
certificate will be issued per new troop to the leader that
officially starts the new troop.
What if my friend is already a Girl Scout leader?
Your
friend will qualify by starting a NEW troop (with new girl members)
between October 26 - December 22, 2020, even if she or he is
already a current volunteer and leader of another troop.
Can the new troop be any level or grade?
Yes, new troops
of any level qualify if they meet the criteria of a new troop: one or
more leaders with adequate number of adult volunteers and girls to
meet safety ratios.
How can the gift certificate be used?
The new troop may use
the gift certificate for any qualifying in-store purchase at GSU’s
retail shops. We suggest using the gift certificate to purchase an
insignia tab and pins for all of the troop leaders and a “Girl’s
Guide to Girl Scouting” book for the troop, plus a Journey book or
badges/patches for the girls, if funds allow.
