Start a Troop
Do you love inspiring girls to grow, learn, and shine?
As a Girl Scout troop leader, you’ll guide girls to build confidence, explore the outdoors, make new friends, and discover their strengths, all while having fun every step of the way.
A Girl Scout troop is more than just meetings, it’s a safe, supportive space where girls dream big and take action to make their world better.
And you won’t do it alone: with training, ready-to-go meeting plans, and an entire Girl Scout team by your side, you’ll feel confident and prepared to lead.
Be the role model they’ll remember forever, become a Girl Scout troop leader today!
Start your own local troop and help Girl Scouts make a difference in their community. There's no one "type" of volunteer. If you’re ready to support Girl Scouts and help them grow, you’re ready to be a troop leader.
Troop leaders can be a recent college grad, a parent, or a retiree—really, people of any gender with a sense of curiosity and adventure who are 18 or older, pass a criminal background check, and complete required trainings.
